Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger)
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Additional pumpkin spice (for garnish)
Optional Ingredients & Alternatives
- Maple syrup (instead of sugar) for natural sweetness
- Sweet potato puree (instead of pumpkin puree) for different taste
- Oat milk or almond milk (non-dairy options)
- Dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the whipped coffee base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of hot water, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture vigorously for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes light, frothy, and airy in texture.
- Mix pumpkin and spices: In a small bowl, blend together 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice blend (which includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) until fully combined, bringing out warm seasonal flavors.
- Combine milk and pumpkin mixture: Pour ½ cup of your choice of milk (dairy or non-dairy) into a glass or mug. Gently stir in the pumpkin and spice mixture until evenly distributed throughout the milk.
- Assemble the pumpkin whipped coffee: Carefully spoon the fluffy whipped coffee on top of the pumpkin-spiced milk, allowing it to float gracefully as a creamy, layered topping.
- Add finishing touches: Optionally, top the drink with a generous dollop of whipped cream, then sprinkle additional pumpkin spice over the whipped cream for garnish and added aroma.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately. For the best taste experience, stir the layers together just before sipping to enjoy the full blend of pumpkin and coffee flavors.
Notes
- Use a hand mixer for best whipping results; if unavailable, a whisk works but requires more effort.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste.
- The drink can be served warm or over ice for a chilled version.
- Non-dairy milk options like almond, oat, or coconut milk work well for a vegan version.
- To make a stronger coffee flavor, add a shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee to the pumpkin milk before topping with whipped coffee.
- Store leftover whipped coffee in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; stir before reuse.
- Reheat the milk and pumpkin mixture gently on the stovetop before recombining if desired; avoid boiling.
- Fresh pumpkin can be used if cooked and pureed until smooth, keeping in mind a milder flavor.
