Ingredients
Whipped Coffee
- 2 tbsp instant coffee or decaf instant coffee
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or monkfruit sweetener (for keto)
- 2 tbsp boiled water
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pumpkin Milk Base
- 1 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 cups dairy-free milk
- Optional: ice (if making iced version)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix together the instant coffee, coconut sugar, boiled water, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Whip the Coffee Mixture: Using a hand mixer, whip the coffee mixture at high speed for about 2 minutes until it becomes lighter in color and soft peaks form. Alternatively, you can whip by hand with a whisk or use a handheld milk frother, although these methods will take longer.
- Prepare Pumpkin Milk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the dairy-free milk and pumpkin puree until fully blended.
- Assemble the Drink: For an iced version, fill two glasses with ice and then pour in the pumpkin milk mixture. For a hot version, heat the pumpkin milk mixture before dividing it between two mugs.
- Add Whipped Coffee: Divide the pumpkin spice whipped coffee evenly over the milk in each glass or mug. Stir gently to combine if desired, then enjoy your festive whipped coffee treat!
Notes
- You can use either regular or decaf instant coffee depending on your preference.
- For a keto-friendly version, substitute coconut sugar with monkfruit sweetener.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste if you want a stronger or milder spice flavor.
- This recipe can be served hot or iced; adjust heating and ice addition accordingly.
- Use any dairy-free milk of your choice such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- Whipping by hand is possible but takes more time and effort compared to an electric mixer or milk frother.
