Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 2 ounces chilled espresso
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pumpkin & Spices
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Other
- 2 cups ice
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Additional pumpkin pie spice, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chilled espresso, whole milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend briefly until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add the 2 cups of ice to the blender. Blend again just until the drink becomes thick, smooth, and creamy, being careful not to over-blend and dilute the texture.
- Serve: Pour the frappuccino into a large glass. Top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice if you like. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- The espresso can be substituted with strong brewed coffee chilled beforehand if espresso is not available.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or sweetened condensed milk to your taste.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduce or omit the heavy cream.
- Adding whipped cream and extra pumpkin pie spice on top enhances the presentation and flavor but is optional.
- To make this vegan, use plant-based milk, coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and a vegan sweetened condensed milk alternative.
