Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Additional white chocolate chips for garnish
- Sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for garnish
Instructions
- Heat Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, strong brewed coffee, white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, whisking continually to blend the ingredients and melt the white chocolate chips evenly. Continue whisking until the mixture starts to steam and a light froth forms on top.
- Add Vanilla and Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. While still hot and steaming, carefully ladle the latte into cups or mugs. Top each serving with whipped cream, a sprinkle of white chocolate chips, and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice for a festive finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the latte warm and flavorful.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or substitute with dairy alternatives like oat or almond milk for a different flavor and dietary preference.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your taste preference; you can add a little extra for a spicier latte.
- If you prefer your latte sweeter, add a teaspoon of sugar or your favorite sweetener when heating the ingredients.
- The strong brewed coffee can be adjusted in strength or replaced with espresso shots for a more intense coffee flavor.
- For a frothier latte, you can use a milk frother after heating the milk and coffee mixture.
