Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
For Blending
- 1 cup ice cubes
Optional Variations
- Pinch of cayenne or black pepper for extra spice kick
- Decaffeinated coffee as substitute for brewed coffee
- Replace plant-based milk with coconut cream for richer texture
- Plant-based whipped cream for topping
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (natural) for mocha pumpkin twist
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Start with your favorite strong brewed coffee and let it cool slightly; this provides the caffeinated depth that balances the sweetness and spice, ensuring every sip is lively yet smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add plant-based milk, cooled coffee, pumpkin puree, maple syrup (natural), natural pumpkin spice blend, vanilla extract (natural), and a small amount of natural gelling agent to create creaminess.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend everything with ice cubes until the mixture reaches a thick, frosty consistency. The ice ensures a perfectly cold and refreshing texture similar to your favorite café frappuccino.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino a quick taste. If more sweetness or spice is desired, add additional maple syrup (natural) or pumpkin spice and pulse briefly to mix.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the frappuccino into your favorite glass and enjoy the seasonal magic with every creamy sip.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients such as chilled coffee and milk for the best frappuccino texture.
- Add ice cubes last during blending to control thickness and avoid over-dilution.
- Adjust sweetness gradually starting with a small amount of maple syrup (natural) to suit your taste.
- Customize pumpkin spice blend ratios to achieve bold or mild flavors.
- Blend just enough to combine ingredients to prevent a too watery texture.
