Ingredient notes and substitutions

Pumpkin ~ Be sure to use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling. Canned is fine, but you can also make your own homemade pumpkin purée from a pie pumpkin.

Coffee ~ You’ll want to use strong brewed coffee. You can also use espresso, if you prefer, like they do at Starbucks and other coffee shops. Decaf coffee can be used.

Allow the coffee to cool before adding to the recipe.

Milk ~ Your favorite, unsweetened dairy-free variety will work, like almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.

Sweetener ~ Super fine cane sugar or pure maple syrup will work. You can even use coconut sugar for some caramel undertones. Adjust sweetness to your taste.

Spices ~ Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves bring all the fall vibes. You can substitute pumpkin pie spice.

You can also add a pinch of salt, if you like, to enhance the flavors, or a splash of vanilla extract.

Toppings ~ Toppings are optional, but a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg take this iced latte over the top!

Storage and freezing

Fridge: This iced pumpkin latte recipe is best consumed right away. However, it will keep in an air-tight container, like a mason jar, in the fridge for up to 2 days. Separation is natural. Shake well or re-blend before serving.

Freezer: You could also pour the latte into ice cube trays to store in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe zip-top bag or air-tight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

When ready to drink, blend the ice cubes in a high-speed blender.

Note: You may need to add additional coffee or milk to thin out the consistency.

Pro tips and tricks

~ Use a strong brewed coffee so the coffee flavor doesn’t get lost. Or use espresso.

~ Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.

~ Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Start with a few tablespoons of sweetener. Add more, as needed.

~ Garnish with non-dairy whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra decadence!

FAQs

What is a pumpkin spice latte?

A pumpkin spice latte (or PSL as they are sometimes called) is a fall-flavored coffee drink made with steamed milk, espresso, and sweetener. It is typically served with a whipped cream topping and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.

Is an iced pumpkin spice latte sweet?

Typically, yes, these flavored lattes are sweet. However, in this homemade version, you control the amount of sweetener, so you can make it as sweet (or not!) as you like.
