Equipment
- Heavy saucepan
- Whisk
- Milk frother (optional)
Ingredients
- 6 cups freshly brewed coffee
- 6 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup, to taste
- ¾ cup almond milk or oat milk, up to 1½ cups for a creamier latte
- 2 bars vegan white chocolate about 3.5 oz each, optional
- dairy-free whipped cream for topping
- cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Optional mug rims: melt 1½ of the white chocolate bars in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip the rim of each mug about an inch into the chocolate and set aside to harden.
- Pour the brewed coffee into a heavy saucepan. Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, sugar and the remaining ½ white chocolate bar.
- Whisk over medium heat until the coffee begins to bubble around the edges and the chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low to keep warm.
- Warm the almond milk and froth it if you like.
- Fill each mug about three-quarters full with the spiced coffee, then top up with the milk.
- Finish with dairy-free whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. Serve right away.
Notes
