- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Diet: Low Calorie, Vegan
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or cashew milk)
- 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon zero-calorie granulated sweetener (like monk fruit or stevia)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso
- Optional: A dollop of fat-free whipped topping
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and the pure pumpkin puree until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the zero-calorie sweetener and the pumpkin pie spice. Heat the mixture until it is hot and steaming, but do not let it come to a rolling boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This ensures the delicate vanilla flavor doesn’t evaporate during the heating process.
- If you have a handheld milk frother, pulse the mixture for about 30 seconds until it becomes light and foamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can carefully pour the mixture into a blender and pulse briefly.
- Pour your hot brewed coffee or espresso into a large mug. Gently pour the foamy pumpkin milk mixture over the coffee. Use a spoon to hold back the foam, then top the drink with the remaining froth.
