Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup chilled strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1-2 cups ice
Topping
- Whipped cream
- Additional pumpkin pie spice for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Base: Combine the milk, chilled brewed coffee, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well incorporated, ensuring all the flavors meld together nicely.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add 1 cup of ice to the blender, then pulse the mixture several times until it becomes thick but still pourable. If the frappuccino is not thick enough, add more ice incrementally and continue blending until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve: Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass. Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for added aroma and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing seasonal beverage.
Notes
- Use chilled strong brewed coffee to prevent the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the drink.
- Adjust the sugar amount to your preferred sweetness.
- For a vegan version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk and use dairy-free whipped cream.
- You can prepare the coffee ahead of time and chill it for faster preparation.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top can enhance the spice profile.
