Pumpkin Spice Espresso Shake
Pumpkin Spice Espresso Shake is your shortcut to fall coffeehouse vibes at home. Just blend cold brew (or espresso), pumpkin purée, and vanilla ice cream with a hit of pumpkin spice, then finish with whipped cream. The result? A creamy, spiced shake that’s part dessert, part caffeine boost, and way better than Starbucks. Recipe below!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee or 2 shots espresso, chilled
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
- Add cold brew, pumpkin, ice cream (or yogurt), and pumpkin spice to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with extra pumpkin spice.
Tips
- Pump up the spice: Add cinnamon or nutmeg if you like it extra cozy, or some Cardamom to give an amazing boost to the flavor profile.
- Make it boozy: A splash of coffee liqueur or rum turns this into a cozy fall cocktail.
- Dairy-free option: Use coconut milk ice cream or almond milk yogurt.
