Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra spice)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups ice cubes (or more, to taste)
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)
- Cinnamon stick, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Coffee, Milk, and Pumpkin Puree: In a large bowl or pitcher, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, milk, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Add Sweetness and Spice: Add the granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt to the coffee mixture. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
- Chill the Mixture (Optional): For best results, chill the pumpkin spice coffee mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Add Ice to the Blender: Place the ice cubes into your blender.
- Pour in the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Mixture: Pour the chilled pumpkin spice coffee mixture over the ice in the blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to a higher speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Check the Consistency: Once the mixture is smooth, stop the blender and check the consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again until it reaches your desired thickness. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk or coffee and blend again.
- Pour into Glasses: Pour the frozen coffee into your favorite glasses.
- Add Whipped Cream (Optional): If you’re a fan of whipped cream, top each glass with a generous dollop.
- Drizzle with Caramel Sauce (Optional): For an extra touch of sweetness and flavor, drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
- Garnish (Optional): To complete the presentation, garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Pumpkin Spice Frozen Coffee immediately and enjoy!
