Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 freezer safe container (be careful not to overfill your container or it might crack)

Ingredients

Pumpkin Base

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Whipped Coffee Blend

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin base (see ingredients above)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup instant coffee

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until it reduces to half the amount (approximately 1/2 cup). You can measure this to be sure.

  • To avoid any sediments, strain your mixture using a fine mesh strainer, assisting with a spoon if necessary.
  • Add the hot pumpkin base, instant coffee, remaining sugar, and boiling water to your stand mixer's bowl.

  • In a stand mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes fluffy and at least doubles in volume. It should resemble beaten egg whites. This takes 5-10 minutes. If anything gets stuck to the sides, pause, scrape with a spatula, and continue mixing
  • Pour your pumpkin spice latte mixture into a freezer-safe container, taking care not to overfill. Remember that frozen liquids expand, which may cause your container to crack (as it has happened to me before)
  • You can now enjoy your pumpkin spice latte. First warm up the milk of your choice (it needs to be really hot) . Then add about a tablespoon of the mixture and whisk it around to dissolve
  • Freeze any remaining mixture in a freezer-safe container. You'll observe that it won't freeze completely but will firm up while remaining scoopable. That's exactly how it's intended to be. Enjoy!
