Ingredients

Directions

Add the milk, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to a small saucepan.
Heat over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture is hot and smooth. Do not allow it to boil.
Divide the freshly brewed coffee between two mugs.
Pour the warm pumpkin-spice milk mixture evenly into each mug and stir well.
Top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
Serve immediately while warm.

RECIPE TIPS

Use plain pumpkin purée—not pumpkin pie filling—and whisk the milk mixture well so the pumpkin blends smoothly into the coffee without settling at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without pumpkin purée?

Yes. Leave out the purée and add a little extra pumpkin pie spice for a spiced coffee without the pumpkin flavor.
Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes. Whole milk, half-and-half, almond milk, oat milk, or any milk you enjoy will work.
Can I make it less sweet?

Absolutely. Start with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, taste the coffee, and add more only if needed.
Can I make Pumpkin Spice Coffee ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the pumpkin-spice milk mixture and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Reheat and add it to freshly brewed coffee when ready to serve.
Can I serve this coffee cold?

Yes. Let the coffee and pumpkin mixture cool, then pour them over ice for an easy iced pumpkin spice coffee.
