keto whipped creamoptional- homemade or purchase sugar-free
Instructions
Espresso Machine
If your espresso machine has a milk frother, heat the almond milk and heavy whipping cream.
Brew 1-2 shots of espresso while the milk is heating.
Add the milk to a mug and stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and sweetener. Add the espresso to the cup.
Top with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice if desired.
Stovetop
Add the almond milk, heavy whipping cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetener to a small saucepan. Heat and stir over medium-low heat until heated through to your preferred temperature.
Pour the milk and pumpkin mixture into a mug, if you have a milk frother froth the milk now according to the instructions. This is optional.
Pour the fresh hot coffee or shots of espresso into the mug.
Top with sugar-free whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
Microwave
Add the almond milk, heavy whipping cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetener to a microwave-safe mug. Mix to combine. Heat for 90 seconds.
If you have a milk frother, you'll want to froth it now. This is totally optional and we often add sugar-free whipped cream on top instead of frothing the milk.
Add the hot espresso or coffee and mix it into the milk mixture.
Add sugar-free whipped cream if desired and sprinkle with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
The recipe makes what's known as a short latte, which is an 8 oz latte. Whether you add one shot of espresso or two is what makes it a single short or single double. To make a single tall or double tall latte, which is more common at Starbucks, you can just use an oversized coffee mug and increase the recipe by 50%.To make a lighter and less rich drink, you can replace the heavy whipping cream with more milk.One great thing about making your own drink at home is that you can easily add more sweetener or more of any ingredient you love.Buy a sugar-free whipped cream or make our homemade keto whipped cream recipe.
