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.
