A refreshing fall-inspired latte featuring warm pumpkin spice infused milk topped with light, airy cold foam. Perfect for cozy mornings and crisp afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener of choice for cold foam
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill glass
  • Optional garnish: cinnamon or extra pumpkin pie spice
  • Optional garnish: whipped cream or coconut whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Brew 1/2 cup (120 ml) of espresso or strong brewed coffee and pour into serving glass. Add hot water if a less intense coffee is desired.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Stir gently until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Remove saucepan from heat. Froth the warm pumpkin milk using a milk frother or handheld mixer until it thickens and doubles in volume (about 1-2 minutes) to create a silky foam with soft peaks.
  4. For the cold foam topping, froth 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold milk with 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener vigorously until dense and cloud-like.
  5. Fill the serving glass with ice cubes. Pour brewed espresso over ice, then gently pour warm pumpkin milk mixture on top.
  6. Spoon the cold foam over the latte, letting it float on the surface.
  7. Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice and add whipped cream if desired.

Notes

[‘Keep milk temperature under 160°F (70°C) when warming to avoid scalding.’, ‘Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best flavor control.’, ‘Froth warm milk gently for creamy texture; froth cold milk vigorously for dense foam.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by varying brown sugar and sweetener amounts.’, ‘If pumpkin milk mixture is too thick, thin with a splash of milk before frothing.’, ‘Leftover pumpkin milk mixture can be refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat gently before frothing again.’, ‘Cold foam is best made fresh just before serving.’, ‘For dairy-free version, use oat or almond milk and plant-based sweeteners.’, ‘Optional mocha twist: add 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to espresso.’]
