This Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe features a homemade spiced pumpkin sauce, espresso, and creamy, frothy milk. It's a cafe-worthy drink that's easy to make at home, the perfect fall latte!

Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Sauce

½ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup maple sugar, or light brown sugar
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom, optional but delicious

For One Latte

2 shots freshly pulled espresso, see notes
2 tablespoons pumpkin sauce, or to taste
½ cup whole milk
Whipped cream and cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions

For the Pumpkin Sauce

Combine all pumpkin sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use (up to 7 days).

For The Latte

In your favorite mug, stir together espresso and pumpkin sauce.
Heat milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until it is just steaming, about 150℉.
Froth milk until it develops a ½” thick layer of foam, about 20 seconds using a wand frother - or by very carefully shaking the milk in a mason jar (I recommend wrapping the jar in a towel it will be hot).
Pour frothed milk over the espresso. Garnish with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Espresso - I use my Nespresso maker to make this latte – my favorite pods are the Scuro and Chairo, but you could use very strong black coffee or a bottled espresso.
