Notes

Feel free to swap the whole milk for your favorite dairy-free alternative like oat or almond milk. The maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice can be easily adjusted to suit your personal taste.

Can I use cold brew instead of espresso?

Absolutely! A 1/2 cup of strong cold brew coffee is a perfect substitute for the espresso shot.

How can I make this dairy-free?

It’s very easy! Simply swap the whole milk for your favorite unsweetened almond, oat, or coconut milk. The recipe is wonderfully adaptable.

My pumpkin puree is clumping. What did I do wrong?

Nothing! Just ensure you are using a high-speed blender and blend for the full 30 seconds. This will ensure everything is perfectly smooth and emulsified.

How long will this last in the fridge?

You can store the blended mixture (without ice) in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before pouring over ice.
