Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup brewed strong coffee (cold or room temperature, 8 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole, 2%, oat, or almond, 4 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 12 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or brown sugar (optional, to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (or cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, pinch of cloves)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill glass)
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream (dairy or coconut), extra caramel drizzle, pumpkin spice dusting, toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method. Let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  2. In a blender or shaker jar, combine 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend, 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or brown sugar (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend or shake until smooth and creamy.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon caramel sauce around the inside of your glass, tilting and swirling to coat the sides.
  4. Fill the glass about 2/3 full with ice cubes.
  5. Slowly pour the blended pumpkin spice milk mixture over the ice.
  6. Pour the cooled coffee over the pumpkin milk mixture. For a layered look, pour gently over the back of a spoon.
  7. Top with whipped cream, more caramel drizzle, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice if desired. Add toasted pecans or a pinch of sea salt for extra flair.
  8. Stir before sipping and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free or vegan version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free caramel and whipped cream. Adjust sweetness to taste and use coffee ice cubes for a stronger flavor. The pumpkin milk mixture can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a hot version, heat the milk and pumpkin mixture and use hot coffee instead of iced.
