Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup / 240 ml / 8 fl oz milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup / 50 g / 1.7 oz pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
  • 1 tbsp clear honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Garnish

  • Dollop of whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Pinch of pumpkin pie spice (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cold Pumpkin Spice Milk: In a blender, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a large jar and use an immersion blender for blending.
  2. Warm the Pumpkin Milk (Optional): For a warm version, transfer the blended mixture (excluding garnishes) into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat on the stovetop, whisking frequently until the drink is hot and steaming but not boiling.
  3. Garnish: Pour the cold or warm pumpkin milk into a glass or mug. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice over the cream for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, spiced flavors at their best.

Notes

  • You can use any milk of your preference: dairy, almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk all work well.
  • Adjust honey or maple syrup quantity to taste based on sweetness preference.
  • The pumpkin pie spice amount can be customized for a milder or stronger spice flavor.
  • For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk and maple syrup instead of honey, and substitute whipped cream with coconut whipped cream.
  • To avoid overheating, warm the milk gently and do not let it boil to preserve the flavor and texture.
