Creamy Pumpkin Spice Latte (with Real Pumpkin)

Pumpkin Spice Latte in White Mug on Marble Board
A deliciously creamy pumpkin spice latte you can enjoy at home. Made with your favourite milk, real pumpkin, spices and more.
Total Time 10 minutes
Serving Size 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup strongly brewed coffee (or 2 shots of espresso)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup 2% or whole milk
  • cup pumpkin butter
  • ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
  • ground cinnamon, for topping

Instructions

  • Brew coffee or espresso.
  • To a Milk Cafe fitted with latte disk, add milk and set heat to 150-160°F. Heat until warm (about 1 minute), then add pumpkin butter and vanilla through measuring cap opening while mixing. Place cap back on and allow to finish heating. (See saucepan method in notes below.)
  • Meanwhile, whip cream until soft peaks form. Add maple syrup and continue whipping until light and fluffy.
  • Divide coffee between 2 large mugs, followed by frothed pumpkin milk. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • For the saucepan method, whisk together milk, pumpkin butter and vanilla over medium heat. Once the mixture is steaming hot, remove. Using a handheld milk frother, mix until frothy.
  • Use any combination of milk you prefer to make up the 2 cups. Lower fat usually results in less frothing. I used coconut milk and 2%, which came out creamy and frothy. Oat milk would be delicious too.
  • Adjust sweetness of latte by cutting back or adding more pumpkin butter or maple syrup.
  • Makes 2 large lattes (grande size) or 3 small.
  • To make a pumpkin spice steamer instead, omit coffee.
