Print Recipe

A cozy, creamy coffee drink that combines bold espresso with warm pumpkin spice, creamy milk, and a hint of sweetness—perfect for fall mornings or indulgent treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or maple syrup)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Sprinkle of pumpkin spice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso: Pull 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the pumpkin mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low, stirring until smooth and fragrant (about 2 minutes).
  3. Warm the milk: In a separate saucepan or using a frother, heat 1 cup of milk until warm. Froth the milk to your desired consistency.
  4. Combine: In your mug, pour the prepared pumpkin mixture. Add the espresso shots and stir well to combine.
  5. Add milk: Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture. Stir lightly to blend the flavors.
  6. Top with whipped cream: For an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin spice on top.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free whipped cream. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar or using a sugar alternative. Frothing the milk adds a luxurious texture, even if done manually by whisking or shaking warm milk in a jar.
