Description
A cozy, real pumpkin coffee made with fresh pumpkin purée, warm spices, and strong coffee — no artificial syrups, just pure fall flavor in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients
1 cup strong brewed coffee (medium or dark roast)
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–2 teaspoons sweetener (brown sugar or maple syrup)
Optional toppings: whipped cream, ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, whisk together pumpkin purée, milk, and sweetener over medium-low heat until steaming (do not boil).
2. Remove from heat and whisk in pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract.
3. Froth the mixture with a handheld frother or whisk vigorously until small, tight bubbles form.
4. Pour hot coffee into a mug and stir in the pumpkin-milk mixture until well blended.
5. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use oat, almond, or coconut milk.
Keep coffee-to-milk ratio at about 2:1 for a coffee-forward taste.
Store pumpkin-milk base (without coffee) in the fridge up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.
