Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup), or 1/3 to 1/2 cup strong coffee
- 1/4 cup cold heavy cream, whipped into firm peaks
- Place 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée,1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a generous helping of black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it's hot and smells cooked, about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and stir until the mixture looks like a bubbly, thick syrup.
- Whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract and warm gently, stirring often and watching carefully to make sure it doesn't boil over.
- Carefully process the mixture with a hand blender or in a traditional blender (hold the lid down tightly with a thick wad of towels!) until frothy and blended.
- Make the espresso (about 1/4 cup) or strong coffee (1/3 to 1/2 cup) and divide between 2 mugs. Add the frothed milk and pumpkin mixture. Top with the whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg if desired.
