- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice plus more for serving
- Pinch of salt
- 4 shots freshly brewed espresso
- Whipped cream optional
Add the milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a small saucepan.
Cook over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, whisking frequently, until the mixture is smooth, steaming, and heated through. Do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Froth the pumpkin milk mixture with a handheld milk frother for about 30 seconds, or whisk vigorously until lightly foamy.
Divide the freshly brewed espresso between two mugs.
Pour the pumpkin milk mixture evenly over the espresso, holding back some of the foam with a spoon before adding it to the top.
Garnish with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Serve immediately.
