Description

This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Latte is a warm, comforting autumn-themed beverage made with creamy milk, rich pumpkin puree, fragrant pumpkin pie spice, and strong coffee. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating an indulgent homemade latte perfect for cozy mornings or gatherings.


Ingredients

Latte Base

  • 2 Cups whole milk
  • 2 Cups heavy cream
  • 1 Cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ Cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Coffee

  • 1 Cup strong brewed coffee or espresso

Garnish (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, add the whole milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Slow Cook the Mixture: Set the slow cooker to low heat. Cook the mixture for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This step allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat through thoroughly.
  3. Add Coffee: After 2 hours, pour in the strong brewed coffee or espresso into the slow cooker and stir well to incorporate it evenly into the creamy pumpkin mixture.
  4. Adjust Flavor: Taste the latte and customize the sweetness or spice level to your preference by adding more sugar or pumpkin pie spice if desired.
  5. Serve: Pour the hot pumpkin spice latte into mugs. Top each serving with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish, if desired. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use whole milk and heavy cream for a rich and creamy latte; substitute with milk alternatives for a lighter option.
  • Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your taste preference.
  • For a caffeine-free version, substitute strong brewed coffee with decaf coffee or omit entirely.
  • Make sure to stir occasionally during cooking to prevent burning at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • This recipe makes approximately 4 servings and can be kept warm in the slow cooker for serving over 1-2 hours.
