Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon natural pumpkin pie spice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave)
- 1/2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out the pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, natural pumpkin pie spice, natural sweetener, vanilla extract (natural), and brewed coffee or espresso. Having everything ready will make the blending process quicker and easier.
- Blend the Base: Combine the pumpkin puree, brewed coffee, plant-based milk, natural sweetener, vanilla extract (natural), and pumpkin pie spice in a high-speed blender. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and the spices are thoroughly incorporated.
- Add Ice and Blend Again: Add the ice cubes to the blended base mixture. Increase the blender speed to high and blend until the frappuccino achieves a thick, frosty, and creamy texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the frappuccino and adjust the sweetness or spice level if desired by adding more natural sweetener or pumpkin pie spice. Blend briefly again to combine the adjustments.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino into a tall glass. Optionally, garnish with cinnamon powder, nutmeg, or a swirl of coconut whipped cream (plant-based) before serving.
Notes
- Use cold brewed coffee to prevent melting ice from diluting the flavor.
- Fresh or good-quality canned pumpkin puree works best for natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more ice for a thicker frappuccino or more plant-based milk for a lighter drink.
- Sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice on top for an aromatic finish.
- Blend using a strong blender to achieve a smooth texture handling ice and pumpkin easily.
