Ingredients
Scale
Espresso
- 2 shots (2.5 ounces / 75 ml) espresso, freshly brewed
Milk and Syrups
- 8 ounces (240 ml) milk, your choice of dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, etc.)
- ½ – 1 tablespoon (7.5 – 15 ml) Torani Cheesecake Syrup
- Torani Pumpkin Pie Sauce, for drizzling inside the cup and on top
Add-ons
- Ice, as desired for iced version
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Pumpkin pie spice, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew Espresso: Start by brewing 2 shots of fresh espresso using your preferred espresso machine or method to get a strong, rich coffee base for your latte.
- Prepare Your Cup: Drizzle Torani Pumpkin Pie Sauce inside your serving cup and also a little on top of the whipped cream later to enhance the pumpkin flavor.
- Mix Ingredients Together: In a separate container, warm 8 ounces of milk (dairy or plant-based) and stir in ½ to 1 tablespoon of Torani Cheesecake Syrup until fully combined. Pour this mixture over the brewed espresso. For an iced latte, add ice as desired.
- Add Whipped Cream: Top your latte generously with whipped cream, and then drizzle more pumpkin pie sauce on top for added sweetness and flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over the whipped cream for the perfect seasonal touch and serve immediately to enjoy warm or chilled.
Notes
- Adjust syrup quantities to match your preferred sweetness level.
- Using different plant-based milks can subtly change the flavor profile; almond or oat milk are great choices.
- For the iced version, make sure to cool the espresso slightly before combining with cold milk and ice to prevent melting the ice too quickly.
- You can substitute whipped cream with coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free option.
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and aroma.
