Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup strong brewed black coffee or espresso (cold or at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative (e.g., almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of sea salt
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the coffee or espresso, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt to a blender. Blend for a couple of minutes until smooth and fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice level by adding more maple syrup or pumpkin pie spice if desired.
- Prepare Glass with Ice: Fill a tall glass about 1/2 to 2/3 full with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Pour Coffee Mixture: Pour the blended pumpkin spice coffee over the ice-filled glass, allowing the cold and creamy mixture to chill as you enjoy.
- Add Toppings: For an extra special treat, top the iced coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy cold.
Notes
- You can customize the sweetness by adding more maple syrup according to your taste.
- Use any milk or milk alternative depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
- Make sure coffee or espresso is cold or at room temperature before blending to avoid melting the ice prematurely.
- This recipe is best served immediately to retain the freshness and cold temperature.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and whipped cream alternatives.
