Pumpkin Pie Latte

Pumpkin Pie Latte

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons canned pumpkin*
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1-2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)**
1 cup whole milk (or evaporated milk, adds great character!)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1-2 shots espresso
Whipped cream, nutmeg (optional) or pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

In a small saucepan, combine pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, sugar and whole milk; heat gently, stirring, until hot.
Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
Pour into mug and pour espresso over.
Top with whipped cream and a dash of nutmeg.
Makes one serving.

*A simpler solution would be to purchase the Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling (it is pre-spiced, while the pumpkin puree is "plain."
That way, you could eliminate the spices altogether in the recipe.
** Start with 1 tablespoon and increase if needed to balance flavors.
