Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 shot espresso
- Whipped cream for topping
- Cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of white chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, 1 shot of espresso, whipped cream for topping, and cinnamon for garnish.
- In a small saucepan, pour in the 1 cup of milk and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), add the 2 tablespoons of white chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Next, add the 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice to the milk mixture. Whisk everything together until the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated and the mixture is well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and prepare your shot of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine, a stovetop Moka pot, or a French press.
- In a large mug, pour the freshly brewed shot of espresso. Then, carefully pour the warm pumpkin spice white chocolate milk mixture over the espresso, allowing the two to combine.
- Top your latte generously with whipped cream, creating a fluffy layer on top of the drink.
- Finally, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the whipped cream as a garnish for added flavor and presentation.
- Your White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Latte is now ready to be enjoyed! Sip slowly and savor the comforting flavors of fall.
