Description
This Pumpkin Cheesecake Latte is a cozy fall beverage combining pumpkin, cream cheese, and spices with the richness of coffee. Naturally sweetened with honey, it’s a creamy and indulgent treat perfect for chilly mornings or afternoons.
Ingredients
1 cup brewed coffee or espresso
1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1–2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or cinnamon)
Whipped cream, for topping
Additional pumpkin spice, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee or espresso and set it aside.
- Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s steaming, but not boiling.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
- Blend Mixtures: Gradually add the heated milk to the pumpkin mixture, whisking vigorously until the mixture is well-combined and frothy.
- Combine with Coffee: Pour the brewed coffee or espresso into a large mug, then gently pour the pumpkin-milk mixture on top.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Generously top your latte with whipped cream for a creamy finish.
- Garnish: Sprinkle additional pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top for an extra autumn-inspired touch.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your homemade Pumpkin Cheesecake Latte while it’s warm and indulgent!
Notes
Sweetness: Adjust the sugar to your liking. For a sweeter latte, use 2 tablespoons of sugar; for a less sweet version, 1 tablespoon should be enough.
Dairy-Free Version: Use almond milk, oat milk, or any other dairy-free milk alternative, and non-dairy cream cheese for a vegan version.
Make it Stronger: If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso or reduce the amount of milk for a more robust taste.
