A cozy, creamy pumpkin spice latte made from scratch with real pumpkin puree and freshly ground spices, perfect for fall mornings or a comforting afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or 2% or oat milk as alternatives)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) pumpkin puree (preferably canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (12–24 grams) brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1/2 cup (120 ml) of espresso or strong brewed coffee and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup (240 ml) milk, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) pumpkin puree, 1 to 2 tablespoons (12-24 grams) brown sugar, 1 teaspoon (2 grams) pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract.
  3. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until hot but not boiling (about 3 to 4 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and froth the pumpkin spice milk using a handheld frother until light and foamy. If no frother is available, whisk vigorously or shake in a sealed jar for about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour the brewed coffee into a mug, then gently add the frothed pumpkin spice milk on top. Spoon some foam to finish. Optionally, add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

Notes

Do not boil the milk to avoid curdling and bitterness. Use freshly ground spices for best aroma. Adjust sweetness to taste. Froth milk vigorously if no frother is available. Keep pumpkin spice milk refrigerated if made ahead and froth fresh before serving.
