Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino
For me, pumpkin = Autumn. I realize this may very well be the logic of a grade schooler but I can’t help it. The smell and sight of these full bellied squash makes me think of everything from the sweets of Halloween to the pies of Thanksgiving {my absolute favorite holiday}! I hear September 3rd is when Starbucks is officially releasing their pumpkin spice, but why wait? C’mon in and I’ll show you how to make one {in your jammies if you prefer}!

- 1 c whole milk*
- 1½ c ice
- 1 shot espresso
- 2 c water
- 2 c sugar
- 3 whole cinnamon sticks
- 1 ts ground cloves
- 1 ts ground ginger
- ½ whole nutmeg
- 5 tb pumpkin puree
- ¼ c heavy whipping cream + 3 tb pumpkin spice syrup
- Boil the water, dissolve the sugar. Add in all the spices. Bubble for 15-20 minutes. Strain and cool. {Store leftover syrup in the fridge}
- In a blender, tip in the milk, ice, espresso and 5 tb of cooled pumpkin spice syrup.

Pumpkin spice is in the house! In the next video, I’ll even show you how to whip up something else with the left over syrup!

I love Fall, it means winter is on it’s heels:-) Your recipe sounds delicious and perfect Fall treat! Hugs, Terra
I can’t wait to see the foliage in the mountains this year!
I was having a bit of a time trying to adjust to the fact that Fall is right around the corner, Angela. But now, well, I am sure to welcome it with jamies on and a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino in my hand.
Thank you so much for sharing…
This was my feeling exactly and then I remembered how much I adore Autumn and all that it brings!
Why wait! I love the smell of fall spices and having them in a delightful cappuccino in my cozy PJ’s sounds like heaven. Take Care, BAM
Mmmm pumpkin spice is something I am using more and more – you could definitely convert me into a coffee lover
making my own pumpkin spice is on my list of things to do
Tis the season, so soon! Excited for fall flavours, particularly all things pumpkin-spiced
I’m looking forward to all things pumpkin, too. The recipe sounds great! Thanks!
Sounds delicious!
I’d love to make my own pumpkin spice syrup so I can add it to coffee!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I LOVE any thing PUMPKIN Angie!! Love this recipe! Thank you! Have a lovely day!!
xoxoxoxo!
Les.
pumpkin pie season! yippee! maybe i just use recipe to make that pumpkin-spice whip cream into an ice cream! yummy!
YUUUUMMMMMYYYYY!! I so prefer making coffee drinks at home – they just taste better to me. This sounds so so good Angie. Oh I have a tip that you may or may not find useful – when I make frappuccino’s at home, I add a pinch of Xanthan gum which keeps it from separating, and also makes it thicker. I read this is Starbucks’ trick too, but I don’t know if that’s true or not.
I like your attitude on “Why wait?” Exactly! Great recipe my friend! xoxo
Waiting for local pumpkin to appear at the farmers’ market.
You are a girl after my own heart. Every year I wait for these to come out at Starbucks and now I don’t have too! I love these so much. Thank you for this recipe.
Totally going to save tons of money this year by making pumpkin spice fraps at home! Thanks love!
i think this would be lovely served frozen too…
nice and creamy coffee!
Angie . wouldn’t it be lovely if Ms Pumpkin could jump out of a pumpkin and sing a nice fall song on the first day of fall? ee hee.
Sounds so delicious and so great to know home to make it at home. But I think it is a tad too earlier….heat wave were I live lol.
This will definitely help beat the heat..enjoy!
That is so cute!!
That sounds delish!
Thank YOU, Jo!
Thank you so much for watching!
If you were growing some sugars, I’d pay to have some express shipped to me =)
Though to be fair, I’m so greedy that this is my question for most things, LOL
You too, Les!
I added mine to cereal and ice cream…I’m kidding! (but that doesn’t sound half bad…)
Pumpkin really eases me into the whole “it’s gonna get chilly soon”
I want pumpkin everything!!
I feel like I got a pumpkin spiced facial just being near it while it brewed…Mmmmm
Pumpkin spice has magical powers to make everything better =)
That is so perfectly accurate…the smell of Fall… =)
Very nice, I would’ve never thought.
oh you devil you! You’re a mind reader into my next video, lol
Oh, this sounds so awesome! I actually don’t like coffee, but I love Starbuck’s frappaccinos- I love having the recipe so I could tweak it without coffee. I bet it is delicious either way!
For sure!
Hi Angela, this look really refreshing and awesome. I’m sure it smell and taste heavenly. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Regards.
Thank you for visiting
I’m in the middle of making the drink and am wondering if the syrup needs to be cold before blending the drink?

Hello Kate! It helps if the syrup is cold before blitzing so it doesn’t water anything down…additionally, you can always freeze the syrup or milk in cubes to make a creamier consistency =)
