Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (oat, almond, or cashew milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (natural) – cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Garnishes

  • Plant-based whipped cream
  • Additional pumpkin spice blend (natural) or cinnamon for sprinkling
  • Plant-based caramel sauce (natural) (optional)
  • Chopped smoked turkey bacon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew Your Coffee: Start by brewing a strong espresso or coffee. Allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the ice too quickly during blending.
  2. Blend the Pumpkin Mixture: In a blender, combine pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), pumpkin spice blend (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all flavors are well combined.
  3. Add Coffee and Ice: Add the cooled brewed coffee along with ice cubes to the blender. Pulse several times until the ice is crushed and the drink attains a creamy frappuccino texture.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the mixture into a tall glass. Top generously with plant-based whipped cream and sprinkle a little more pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top. Optionally, drizzle plant-based caramel sauce (natural) and sprinkle chopped smoked turkey bacon for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use oat milk for the creamiest texture closest to traditional cream.
  • Taste the mixture before adding ice to adjust sweetness, as melting ice can dilute flavors.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for enhanced aroma and flavor depth.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ice cubes to avoid off-flavors.
  • Blend thoroughly but avoid over-blending to preserve pumpkin texture.
