It's that time of year when Fall is finally here, and your local coffee shop brings out its fall drink menu! And one of my favorite Starbucks pumpkin drinks is the iced pumpkin spice latte! But forget that $5.45 you're about to drop at Starbucks.

This Starbucks Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is so good - even better than the one you get at your local Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or Tim Hortons.

Why you will love this iced pumpkin spice latte recipe

• Economical: Save money for something else; this latte costs a fraction of the coffee shop version.
• Fall flavor: This has real pumpkin puree and the perfect amount of pumpkin pie spice.

Not a huge fan of pumpkin spice anything, but this was DELICIOUS!!! So much so, I bought a small blender for the office so I can make them for my afternoon delight. 😊

Ingredient Notes

This pumpkin iced coffee is made with just a handful of simple ingredients.

• Espresso. I used Starbucks espresso coffee to make a bold espresso.
• Milk. Use any milk. Go dairy or dairy-free. I used non-sweetened almond milk.
• Pumpkin puree. I used canned pumpkin puree.
• Maple syrup. I used organic, pure maple syrup.
• Vanilla extract. I used pure vanilla extract.
• Pumpkin pie spice. Use store-bought or make Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice.
• Ice cubes. I like using coffee ice cubes, so I don't get a watered-down latte. 😉
• Whipped cream. This is completely optional but makes the pumpkin drink extra decadent.

See the printable recipe card below for quantities and a full list of ingredients.

Substitutions

• Espresso - Use cooled, strong-brewed coffee or Cold Brew Coffee. You can also use a French press, Moka pot, or Nespresso machine.
• Milk - use skim milk, reduced-fat milk, whole milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk.
• Pumpkin puree - you can use pumpkin pie filling; just reduce the syrup and spices.
• Maple syrup - use honey, vanilla simple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice - just use cinnamon.
• Whipped cream - use coconut cream.
• Vegan - use plant-based milk.

Variations

• Leave out the whipped cream to make this a skinny iced pumpkin spice latte.
• Drizzle caramel sauce or chocolate sauce on top of the whipped cream for extra flavor.
• Not a fan of coffee? No problem! You can make a delicious Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte using chai tea instead of espresso.
• Top it with Pumpkin Cold Foam instead of whipped cream.

Step-By-Step Instructions

This recipe makes 473 mL, equivalent to a Grande size at Starbucks.

Step 1: Add espresso, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender (Image 1). You can also shake the ingredients in a jar or use an immersion blender.

Step 2: Blend for a couple of minutes or until a smooth consistency is reached (Image 2).

Step 3: Fill a glass ⅔ full with ice cubes. Pour the blended Pumpkin Spice Latte over ice (Image 3).

Step 4: This is completely optional, but you can top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon for a special treat (Image 4).

Expert tips for best results

• Use a bold espresso or strong coffee for the best flavor.
• Ensure the espresso has cooled down so it doesn't melt the ice immediately.
• Use real pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
• Whole milk will give the you the richest latte.
• Use coffee ice cubes to keep the iced pumpkin latte from getting watered down when the ice melts. Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays, then place frozen ice cubes into a freezer bag. Use coffee ice cubes anytime you make an iced latte!
• If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge in a covered container or mason jar with a lid for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
