Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 120ml / ½ cup brewed strong coffee (or 60ml / ¼ cup espresso)
- 180ml / ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for nut-free)
- 30ml / 2 tablespoons heavy cream (double cream)
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 30g / 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra for sprinkling)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 8g / 2 teaspoons monk fruit allulose blend (to taste)
- Sugar-free whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine almond milk, heavy cream, pumpkin purée, sweetener, and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking gently to ensure smooth integration of ingredients.
- Heat the mixture until it reaches a steaming point, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching and maintain a consistent temperature of approximately 160-170°F (71-77°C).
- Transfer the warm liquid into a 12-ounce (350 milliliters) mug, ensuring an even pour to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Incorporate vanilla extract into the heated mixture, stirring thoroughly to blend the flavors and enhance the aromatic profile of the beverage.
- Utilize a milk frother to create a velvety texture, blending until the liquid becomes smooth, frothy, and the sweetener completely dissolves.
- Slowly introduce the brewed coffee into the mug, gently stirring to marry the coffee with the spiced pumpkin base.
- Optional garnish: Crown the beverage with sugar-free whipped cream and a delicate sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice to elevate the sensory experience.
- Serve immediately while the drink maintains its optimal temperature and luxurious, creamy consistency.
Notes
- Elevate your coffee game with strong espresso or dark roast brew for maximum flavor intensity.
- Transform milk texture using a handheld frother or blender to create silky smooth foam.
- Customize sweetness by gradually adding your preferred sweetener, tasting as you go.
- Maintain perfect milk temperature just below boiling to preserve delicate taste and texture.
- Experiment with warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for an extra flavor boost.
