Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk (dairy or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus a little extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup hot espresso or very strong brewed coffee
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Add the milk, pumpkin puree, and sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
- Once the mixture is hot but not yet boiling, whisk in the vanilla extract and the pumpkin pie spice. Continue heating until the mixture is steaming and well combined.
- While the milk mixture is heating, brew your espresso or very strong coffee. Pour the hot coffee into a large mug.
- Slowly pour the hot pumpkin milk mixture into the mug with the coffee. If you have a handheld milk frother, you can pulse it for a few seconds to create a light, airy foam on top.
- Top your latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Enjoy it while it is hot!
