Pumpkin Spice Latte


Pumpkin Spice Latte
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1½ tablespoons of sugar
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for serving
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup hot espresso or 1-2 shots of espresso
- whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Latte:
- In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, 2-3 minutes until the mixture looks smooth.
- Add the milk and vanilla to the pot and whisk until very smooth. Cook 2-3 minutes until just simmering. Remove from the heat. Whisk vigorously or let cool slightly, transfer to a mason jar, cover and shake vigorously to create a foamy milk.
- Add the coffee to a mug and immediately top with the foamy pumpkin spice milk. Top with whipped cream and an additional sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Enjoy!
- Whipped Cream:
- Place bowl, whisk and cream in freezer for 5-10 minutes.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Use immediately or cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
