How to Store Whipped Pumpkin Spice Coffee

Tips to Make Whipped Pumpkin Spice Coffee
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for a richer flavor. You can use canned pumpkin if that’s what you have on hand, but fresh will give a more vibrant taste.
- Don’t overwhip the coffee mixture. Stop as soon as you reach soft peaks to keep it fluffy.
- Experiment with the amount of pumpkin pie spice to find the perfect flavor level for your taste.
Variation
You can easily adjust this recipe to suit your preferences. If you want a richer drink, try using whole milk or a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk. For a sweeter drink, add more maple syrup or a dash of flavored syrup. You can also try adding a splash of coffee liqueur for an adult version.
