This Pumpkin Spice Latte is so easy! I love pumpkin, and this takes it to a new level. It will even save you money as it’s cheaper than going to Starbucks.

Ingredients

¼ cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 shots espresso divided *see note
¾ cup cold heavy cream optional

Instructions

In a medium saucepan add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and black pepper over medium heat. Whisk the whole time for about 90 seconds.
Add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat momentarily to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat to low, pour whole milk and pure vanilla extract into the saucepan, and return to the heat. Allow it to warm up, but not come to a boil. Stir periodically.
If making your own whipped topping, follow this step: Meanwhile, add cold heavy cream to a stand mixer and whip on medium speed for about 4 minutes, or until stiff peaks. Set aside.
Make your espresso shots and add to your serving glasses.
Divide your latte mixture between both glasses and top with whipped cream.

Notes

Add more or less espresso, depending on how strong you would like your latte to be.
This recipe is best made to order. You won’t get the same result if you prepare the pumpkin latte mixture in advance.
Be careful not to boil the milk so it doesn’t curdle and ruin your drink.
