Another, more decadent version of the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. With the added flavors of nutmeg, ground cloves and brown sugar, I dare say this one is even better than the previous recipe I posted.
Pumpkin Spice Latte II (the decadent version)
Pumpkin Spice Latte II (My Recipe)
-
Ingredients: Makes 2 servings
- 1 level tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk (whole if you dare!)
- 1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar (packed and leveled)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg (+ a pinch for dusting later)
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups strong coffee (brewed using 2 tbs per 1 cup of water)
You can also use a shot or two of espresso instead of coffee. - 4 tablespoons Coffeemate creamer
- 4 to 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar
- Whipped cream
Begin brewing coffee.
In a blender puree the milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour into a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the milk is warm and begins to froth slightly. (About 4-5 minutes.) Remove from heat.
For each serving: Pour 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into your coffee mug. Add 2 generous tablespoons of Coffeemate creamer. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add 1 cup of brewed coffee. Add 2 to 4 teaspoons of sugar (depending on how sweet you like your drink, I added 3 tsps.) Top off with a touch more ‘pumpkin milk’ then cover with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Glad you’re feeling better! The latte sounds good…kinda makes me wish I hadn’t given up caffeine!
Glad you’re feeling better too and that you had a whole week end to yourself
Although I dont have a favorite season, I decided recently that I do have a fave season as far as food is concerned. With pumpkin, cider and pies…fall by far wins in this department:)
Oh my goodness you’re back!! I had been checking fairly regularly to see if you’d come back yet, so you were definitely missed! This latte sounds amazing! I used to work for Starbucks, and it’s been very difficult to not have my pumpkin coffee everyday this fall. Yours looks (and sounds) a zillion times better though.
I’m glad you’re back. I missed your recipes and your antics =)
That looks soooooooooooo yummy!!!
Looks great! though is it technically a Latte with no cappuccino?
Jeff – Yup, you’re right. A latte is technically with espresso & milk (which is also what a cappuccino is). But I decided to use the Starbucks name for this drink since that’s what I’m trying to recreate.
A couple shots of espresso could easily be substituted for the coffee though!
Jeff, maybe we were both wrong? According to Wiki a latte is any coffee + milk drink, with the difference between a latte and cappucinno being in the proportion of milk to coffee/espresso.

Whatever the technical term of this we can be sure: it tastes great!
I have to say, that looks amazzzzing! And I’m sooo so so glad you’re back. Missed you muchly.
Well you have inspired me to try more spices.
And I am definately going to try this latte.
Good enough to dive in to. May I?
Hmmm… Goood! Keep feeling better!

wow! WOW. that looks heavenly. i’m ever so impressed, that is one heck of latte. such a nice reinder to make these types of things, thx ari
holy shit, girl.
Never have i seen anything that looked so tasty in my life.
…too bad i suck at ANY type of cooking.
Oh this could be a very bad recipe for me to have!
Oh, that looks so yummy, warm and delicious. I wish I could reach through the screen and have a sip. Umm…
Great surprise…didn’t know you were back…welcome!
Ok so I tried your first version of the pumpkin spice latte and it was really, really good…. but this was even better!! I didn’t think it was possible to beat numbero uno but you did it. Thanks for sharing! (And saving us major cash)
Once again Ari – great recipe! I feel like my kitchen has been transformed into a gourmet cafe.
Oh man the wonderful mug of Pumppkin Coffee that I have in front of me is no longer nearly as tasty after reading this. I can’t wait to try!!!
I am beyond thrilled that all of you are enjoying this recipe! :love:
Judging from the reaction others have had I need to try this delicious looking drink this weekend! I also need to start taking notes at Starbucks and sending recipe requests your way, lol.
Delicious! I made both yesterday and had to put away the muffins so they wouldn’t all get eaten in the first day. As for the latte, I had THREE cups of it, and made two for friends. I can’t wait to make some more!
Sounds fantastic! I could surely go for a cup about now!
I might have to try this, what with Starbucks’s being about $4.50 for the smallest size in these parts!
If you can recreate the Cranberry Bliss Bar (which is one of my most favourite things on earht) I wouldbe forever grateful!
