Make this autumn treat at home and take full control of ingredients and sugar intake, while cutting calories by choosing low-fat or skim milk varieties.

If autumn had a flavor, it would likely taste something like this: creamy espresso infused with sweet pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon spiced together before being finished off with some fluffy whipped cream and sprinkled with festive glitter.

Ingredients

If fall had a taste, this coffee beverage would likely be its signature drink: creamy espresso with sweet pumpkin puree swirled throughout with sugar and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg would surely be it. Now with our easy homemade recipe you can experience all its warmth and coziness anytime of year!

An effective cup of coffee relies on more than just beans; its preparation and ingredients must also be perfected to achieve maximum flavour. For this Pumpkin Spice Mocha Swirl Latte, combining milk, white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree and spices create an irresistibly autumnal treat! Feel free to add some clove spice for wintery warmth! This recipe works best when using either heavy cream and low-fat or skim milk combined together in equal proportions in order to achieve that thick cafe-style foam that characterises quality coffee shops!

Start this creamy pumpkin coffee by whisking the base ingredients together in a small saucepan over medium heat, until they begin to bubble and smell delightful. Remove it from heat once that happens and enjoy your drink! For an enhanced cafe foam experience, stir in some vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice as desired to intensify its flavors.

Next step should be adding strong-brewed coffee or espresso. A bold roast will create an added depth to the flavors that bind pumpkin and coffee together, providing a dynamic punchy kick! If you don’t own an espresso machine, strong brew from either your coffeemaker or french press will work just as well.

Once your coffee and pumpkin mix is in a large mug, the final step is adding white chocolate – slowly whisking milk, chocolate, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin puree over low heat until all three ingredients have melted together fully – either using a whisk or hand-held frothing tool is best.

Finish by pouring your latte over a generous swirl of whipped cream, if desired. Garnish it with cinnamon sugar as desired and take pleasure in sipping!

Tools

Create this magical Cinderella-inspired coffee beverage at home easily without resorting to magic: just combine milk, white chocolate chips, vanilla extract and pumpkin puree in a saucepan until warmed, froth using either handheld wand or blender and pour into large cup of strong coffee with generous swirl of whipped cream adornment for the final step.

While this recipe can make use of your homemade latte maker, it can also be prepared using any regular coffee machine or instant coffee. If you want to limit calories in your coffee drink, lower-fat or skim milk is available or non-dairy alternatives like oat or almond milk are good choices; alternatively you could replace whipped cream with dairy-free topping or simply forgo it altogether for vegan coffee beverages!

Instructions

Make yourself comfortable as autumn leaves dance outside your window or indulge in an autumn treat by whipping up this easy copycat of Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Mocha Swirl Latte at home without all of its calories, high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavoring! Enjoy an irresistibly comforting treat without breaking the bank – this tasty copycat delivers all of its warmth and comfort from Dunkin’. Enjoy its warm pumpkin and vanilla flavors combined with espresso, milk and that distinctive caramel-slathered whipped cream topping drizzled in caramel syrup; all without breaking the bank or resorting to chain stores! While it may not be healthy, at home it certainly offers indulgent pleasure without all those added calories, high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavoring found elsewhere – while being made without spending an arm’s length from Dunkin’.

Combine the base ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat while whisking, until all of the mix-ins have combined into a smooth and creamy milk base. Next add in sugar-free syrups and whisk to incorporate. BruCrew Tip: Try swapping out brown sugar instead of the sugar free versions to reduce added sugars.

Once your ingredients have been fully blended together, remove from heat and pour into a large mug. If you own a milk frother, froth the milk until it reaches thick and foamy status – otherwise whisking or mixing will work just as effectively.

Slowly pour coffee over pumpkin milk mixture, stirring gently to blend all flavors. Finish your creation by garnishing it with generous swirls of whipped cream and cinnamon sugar – remember to take a picture for social media sharing, too! And enjoy!

For a vegan version, simply substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk of your choice and add one teaspoon of cocoa powder for an even stronger chocolatey flavour!

Note from BruCrew: No espresso machine? Not to worry! This autumn beverage can still be deliciously decadent! Simply brew up a strong pot of your favorite coffee and use that instead. Alternatively, instant coffee works just as well!

If you prefer something savory for breakfast with this latte, toasted pecans or walnuts can help counter the sweeter notes in the coffee. Cheddar scones or biscuits may also make delicious accompaniments that keep energy up while enjoying this seasonal treat! It can be enjoyed both hot or cold.
