Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons marshmallow fluff
- ¼ cup pumpkin spice sauce
- 1 tablespoon Nutella
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 ounces espresso
- Ice (enough to fill ¾ of the glass)
- 8 ounces milk (any type of choice)
Topping
- 1 batch Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam (or whipped cream)
Instructions
- Prepare the cup: Use the back of a spoon to spread 3 tablespoons of marshmallow fluff around the sides of a 20 to 24-ounce serving cup and set it aside to allow it to stick properly.
- Mix pumpkin espresso base: In a separate glass, combine ¼ cup pumpkin spice sauce, 1 tablespoon Nutella, and a pinch of salt. Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly over this mixture to start blending the flavors.
- Froth the pumpkin espresso: Using a hand frother, vigorously mix the pumpkin, Nutella, salt, and espresso mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, then set it aside.
- Assemble the latte: Fill the prepared serving cup three-quarters full with ice, then pour in 8 ounces of your preferred milk.
- Add the pumpkin espresso mixture: Pour the frothed pumpkin espresso blend over the milk and ice in the cup, allowing the flavors to layer beautifully.
- Top with cold foam: Prepare one batch of Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam or alternatively use whipped cream, and spoon it generously on top of the drink. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy foam with the chilled latte, optionally with a straw.
