Whipped Pumpkin Coffee Recipe
For hot coffee, combine the ingredients in a microwave-safe mug and set it for 2 minutes to warm up. You may need to microwave it a little bit more if the brown sugar doesn’t dissolve the first time. Once it’s ready, stir in the whipped coffee cream mix you made and enjoy. If you want to warm it up on a stovetop, that is another option. Microwaves just make it faster and easier on those busy mornings!
If you prefer iced coffee, mix all the above ingredients and microwave for only 30 seconds. Pour this over a cup of ice and mix in the whipped coffee cream and enjoy. The canned pumpkin gives your coffee a beautiful orange color which makes it all the more enjoyable for fall.

Ingredients
For the Coffee Cream
- 1 tbsp instant espresso (1 standard packet)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp hot water
For the Pumpkin Spiced Milk
- ½ cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 1 tbsp canned pumpkin

- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Make the Coffee Cream
- In a small bowl, combine the instant espresso, sugar, and hot water. Using a hand mixer, beat until it forms stiff peaks. Set asideNote: Start on low speed and work up to medium-high. If you go straight to highspeed, you’ll end up with a mess!
To Make a Hot Coffee
- Combine the milk, canned pumpkin, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a large, microwave safe mug. Stir to combine.
- Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir again. Add the coffee cream and stir it gently into the milk— it doesn’t have to all be combined. Enjoy.
To Make an Iced Coffee
- Combine the milk, canned pumpkin, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a large, microwave safe mug. Stir to combine.
- Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir again. Pour over ice. Top with coffee cream and gently stir the cream into the milk— it doesn’t need to all be combined. Enjoy.
Notes
- The coffee cream can also be made in a stand mixer.
- The coffee cream on its own is very bitter— that’s why it’s important to stir it into the milk a little before drinking.
- The canned pumpkin can be left out of this recipe without a huge impact on its taste— it will just lose the slightly orange color.
- If the brown sugar is not fully dissolved after microwaving, stir and microwave for
another 30 seconds. - If you prefer not to use a microwave, you can also heat the milk mixture on the stove until it starts to steam.
- The milk mixture can be made in advance and stored for up to two days— just make sure to stir it before using as the spices will settle.
- If you don’t have brown sugar, maple syrup is a delicious substitute.
