This easy DIY Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino is a creamy, icy fall treat bursting with real pumpkin, warm spices, and a hint of coffee. Make it at home in minutes for a cozy, customizable autumn drink that rivals the original.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole, almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, chilled
  • 1/4 cup (60g) pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 200g) ice cubes
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) maple syrup or sugar (to taste)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or homemade blend: 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp ginger, pinch of cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream (for topping, regular or dairy-free)
  • Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon (for topping)
  • Optional: Caramel drizzle (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Brew strong coffee or espresso and let it cool completely. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Add milk, chilled coffee, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and ice cubes to a blender.
  3. Blend on low, then gradually increase speed. Blend for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is thick, creamy, and the ice is fully crushed.
  4. If too thin, add more ice and blend again. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Scrape down sides as needed to ensure even blending.
  5. Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass.
  6. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, and caramel drizzle if desired.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy while frosty.

Notes

For a thicker frappuccino, freeze pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray before blending. Use double-strength coffee for a bolder flavor. Adjust sweetness and spice to taste. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free whipped cream. Drink immediately for best texture—leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours and re-blended with ice.
