Easy Pumpkin Spice Latte
Description
The Easy Pumpkin Spice Latte combines dairy-free milk such as cashew milk with pumpkin puree and a blend of cozy spices including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, clove, and optionally cardamom and black pepper. Simmering the milk with the pumpkin and spices results in a smooth and warmly spiced base. Adding hot espresso, brewed coffee, or a caffeine-free Dandy Blend and vanilla extract completes the latte, providing a rich and aromatic coffee drink with a subtle pumpkin flavor.
The latte can be prepared hot by simmering the ingredients and whisking them together, or iced by mixing all components in a jar with ice and shaking vigorously. A topping of coconut whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice or extra cinnamon can be added for enhanced presentation and flavor.
This beverage suits those looking for a dairy-free seasonal coffee experience. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to one week, making it convenient to prepare in advance. Adjusting spices, sweetness, or coffee strength allows personalization to taste.
Notes recommend starting with half the amount of pumpkin pie spice when using that blend, as spice intensities vary. Nutritional information is an estimate based on minimum pumpkin and syrup amounts without optional ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dairy-free milk (we recommend cashew milk, but coconut or hemp milk would also work well)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2-3 Tbsp pumpkin not pumpkin pie mix, puree
- 1/2 heaping tsp ground cinnamon (*if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes)
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (*if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes)
- 1 healthy pinch ground nutmeg (*if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes)
- 1 healthy pinch ground allspice (*if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes)
- 1 healthy pinch ground clove (*if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes)
- 1 healthy pinch cardamom optional // *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes, ground
- 1/8 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 ½ - 2 tsp maple syrup or sub stevia to taste, more or less to taste
- 1 hot espresso (or sub 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, or 1 ½ -2 tsp Dandy Blend for caffeine-free option)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
FOR SERVING optional
- Coconut whipped cream
- pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- If adding coffee or espresso, prepare at this time and set aside.
HOT VERSION
- To a small saucepan, add dairy-free milk and water. Bring to a simmer, then add pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, clove, cardamom (optional), black pepper, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth. Note: A little separation is natural with both the pumpkin and dairy-free milk, so whisk/stir as needed to smooth.
- Add coffee, espresso, or dandy blend and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more spices to taste, espresso coffee or dandy blend for stronger coffee flavor, or maple syrup for sweetness.
ICED VERSION
- Add all ingredients to a jar with a lid and stir to combine. Then add ice, secure lid, and shake vigorously to combine — about 30 seconds.
FOR SERVING
- Serve as is, or top with coconut whipped cream and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Because of the pumpkin purée and dairy-free milk, separation is natural. Simply stir before serving or whisk when reheating on the stovetop.
Notes
- When using pumpkin pie spice instead of individual spices, start with ½ teaspoon and adjust to taste as blends vary in strength.
- Sweetness and coffee intensity can be tailored by adjusting maple syrup and espresso or coffee quantities.
- Store leftovers refrigerated for up to one week and stir before serving.
