    healthy pumpkin spice latte

    This Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is an easy homemade recipe of cold coffee flavored with pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree. Well, Latte means 'Milk' in Italy and cafe latte means coffee added to milk. This recipe for Pumpkin Spice Latte is a gentle twist to the traditional Pumpkin Latte made in a healthy way by avoiding adding any extra cream.

    I made this Latte first time a few years back when I had an affinity towards Pumpkin and that's when I made several recipes using it- Healthy Veg Pumpkin Recipes. It was a big hit in the family! Millions of people love the version of Starbucks for this latte! When you can't drive to Starbucks or wish to have a latte that oozes the real flavor of pumpkin with fewer calories (You may always top your latte with a whip of cream if you love it!), you may follow my tried and tested recipe.

    This recipe makes use of Pumpkin Puree that can be made in a day advance. Team your Iced Latte with a muffin of your choice and have a hearty evening!

    Ingredients

    This recipe uses easily available ingredients that may be in your pantry or can be easily procured from the local store. For the measurements, refer to the recipe card.

    • Pumpkin Puree- I recommend using the orange pumpkin for making the homemade puree. If you are busy, you may use the canned puree as well, but the taste may differ.
    • Pumpkin Spice- Pumpkin spice is a combination of spices- cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg, and ginger powder. I am not sure about any brands of pumpkin spice as I have all these spices available in the whole form and I grounded them to use a fresh spice for the latte. You may use any good brand that is available and known to you.
    • Milk- I have used Single Toned Dairy Milk. For a more creamy texture, you may use full-fat milk or add a layer of cream. If you wish to make this latte vegan, you may use dairy-free milk like coconut milk or almond milk.
    • Sugar- Granulated white sugar works well. You may use jaggery in a cold latte but the calories won't reduce. If you are on a low-carb diet, you may use stevia instead.
    • Ice- Top your latte with fresh ice cubes. If you like a hot latte or the weather is cold, heat the milk and add pumpkin puree-coffee blend mix gradually and keep cooking on simmer. Add sugar and spice it up with pumpkin spice!

    Sugar can be skipped or replaced by jaggery powder. Jaggery is a healthy substitute for refined sugar. That doesn't mean the calories would decrease a lot.

    Variations

    You may add more deliciousness to this pumpkin spice latte by adding-

    • Salted caramel.
    • Nutella.
    • Maple syrup.
    • Creamy froth.
    • More pumpkin puree if you love its flavor.
    • More pumpkin spice and skipping pumpkin puree, though the real flavor comes from the puree only!

    How is this Coffee Healthy?

    This coffee doesn't make use of any market-heavy creams. Rather uses a hint of cream from the top of the milk (Malai called in India) and uses fresh pumpkin puree. It is not loaded with high sugar or cream that essentially adds to the carbs.

    What To Serve With This Latte?

    Team this iced latte with-

    • Refined Sugar-Free Pumpkin Muffins
    • Whole Wheat Focaccia Bread

    • Pumpkin Paratha
    • Pumpkin Patty Burger
    • Roast Pumpin And Spinach Salad
    • Pumpkin Sandwich

    Expert Tips

    • The homemade pumpkin puree may be runny as it's made by boiling the raw pumpkin in a pressure cooker with water. You may sieve it before adding, cook it to let the water absorb in it, or add less of milk to have the consistency you wish for.
    • When blending puree, coffee, and sugar, don't add any extra water if the puree is homemade. Let it be a smooth and creamy mixture.
    • You may blend by hand or with a blender.
    • For a hot pumpkin latte, make sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook on a slow flame.

    Storage Suggestions

    I would be surprised if you have any leftovers. You may store the leftover latte in a closed container with a lid in the refrigerator for about 2 days. I don't recommend freezing it.

    FAQ

    Is the iced Pumpkin Spice Latte sweet?

    Yes, the iced latte is sweet and flavorful.

    What does iced Pumpkin Spice Latte taste like?

    Well, though it has pumpkin puree, it tastes like a creamy latte rich in aromatic flavors of pumpkin spice- cinnamon and cardamom are really dominating flavors. You may always control the flavor as per your liking.

    How much caffeine is in an iced pumpkin latte?

    I have used the Nescafe brand of coffee and this latte has about 1.5 tablespoon of Nescafe, which means approx 60mg of caffeine.

    Detailed Recipe

    Step 1 Blend The Ingredients

    You may use the hand blender or blend it quickly in a large cup with a spoon. I have blended sugar, pumpkin puree, and coffee with very little milk. It takes about 3-4 min.

    Equipment

    • 1 Blender

    Ingredients
      

    • 1.5 tablespoon pumpkin puree You may make it in advance
    • 1.5 tablespoons sugar You may increase or decrease
    • 1.5 tablespoons coffee I have used Nescafe.
    • 1.5 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
    • 2.5 cups milk I have used single toned

    Instructions
     

    • Take all the ingredients in a bowl. For pumpkin puree, you may make it a day previous. The time includes the time to make it. Similarly, pumpkin spice can be made by coarsely grinding cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and ginger powder. You may also add nutmeg. I couldnt procure it.
      ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Latte
    • Take a large cup. Add to it the coffee powder with little milk along with sugar and beat it for 1-2 min. You may use an electric beater if you wish to. I could do it with spatula easily.

    • Add fresh cream to it and mix again for 1 min till it becomes a smooth mixture. I didnt have market cream. I used the fresh cream from the milk. It was not very creamy though but tasted delicious. If you have full cream milk, you can get enough cream from it. You may boil it a day before and refrigerate it once it cools off. You may check after 5 hours, a thick layer of cream would have been floating on the top of milk. You may use a fork to take it out gently.
      smooth coffee mixture
    • Add the pumpkin puree along with pumpkin spices and mix well for a min. I added cinnamon religiously as it just brings the real flavour to the latte.
