Sit and relax with this easy homemade Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte. Adding pumpkin and caramel to hot coffee makes a fall drink that tastes amazing. Don’t forget to finish it off with some whipped cream and caramel drizzles.
A hot cup of coffee and some quiet time is how I like to start off my day. It helps me slowly start the day off in the right way.
Since I am now on a pumpkin kick right now, I decided to add some fall flair to this Salted Caramel Mocha Latte. It was seriously a good idea.
I had a partial can of pumpkin in the fridge after making these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Donuts, so I headed right into the kitchen and made this delicious pumpkin spice latte.
What kind of milk do you use in a homemade latte?
You can use any kind of milk in this latte, so feel free to use whole, 2%, almond, or fat free. Basically is whatever in your fridge at the moment is fine!
How to froth milk for a latte:
To froth the warm milk mixture, you can use an aerolatte or your blender. The blender mades frothing so easy. Even fat free milk can get a good froth going on that way.
You can also pour the mixture into a mason jar, tighten the lid, and shake vigorously until frothy.
Pour your coffee into two mugs and divide the frothed milk between the two.
How to make a Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte:
- Place the milk, pumpkin puree, caramel topping, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice in a pan over low-medium heat. Stir until it just starts to bubble. You do not want it to come to a full boil.
- Pour hot milk into blender and pulse until frothy.
- Divide milk into 2 mugs. Pour coffee in gently.
- Top each cup with Cool Whip, caramel drizzles, and some sea salt to make this easy homemade latte look like a coffee shop drink. PRO TIP: Don’t like Cool Whip? This Homemade Whipped Cream is also great on top of a homemade latte.
A Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte, some quiet time, and a good book to study, is the best way to enjoy this easy coffee drink. Now if only the weather would cooperate and get cool!

I would love to try this salted caramel pumpkin latte but I really dislike coffee, do you think this would work with hot chocolate?
I think it would work with hot chocolate too! It actually sounds pretty good that way!!! Keep me posted on how you like it!
is there an error in the recipe? 2 Tablespoons of vanilla???
No, that is actually how much is in this particular one. The original recipe had that much too. Feel free to adjust it to your liking though!
thanks 🙂 I will add a bit less, at $6.00 a pop I don’t want to use the whole bottle LOL 😛
Although I guess artificial vanilla would come in handy in this recipe 🙂
Yes, I would recommend using the cheaper stuff in this recipe…I’m pretty sure that’s what I did too 🙂
OK! I made it and I love it, although I used frozen pumpkin (I always have a reserve 🙂 ) and I also used almond milk instead of real milk 😛 All in all a great recipe! Thank you!
I am so glad you tried it and loved it!!!
Could you make the flavor in bulk and store it so it doesn’t have to be put together and cooked every time?
I have only ever made it one drink at a time. My thoughts are that I think it could be made a few days in advance. You need to heat it up every time though to put in the blender to get the froth on top.
I’m so ready for one of these comforting pumpkin lattes!!! Yummo. Bring it, Fall!
Blessings,
Leslie
I hear ya! Fall can’t come quick enough 🙂
very very yummy! so happy autumn is on the way. I love the photo with the drink on the books… makes me think of drinking it while reading in the garden!
This looks delicious and I’m going to include it in my post, Frivolous Friday-Fall is Upon Us. Thank you.
Thank you so much for including it:-)

Hello Fall! I love it.
Fall is right around the corner and I’m stock-piling recipes to make. This is definintely going on the list. It sounds fabulous; I love pumpkin and salted caramel so I can’t wait to try it together!
What a perfect recipe for fall — I’ll keep this one tucked away for Bible study meetings in just a few weeks. Looks amazing. And, makes me long for fall!!
That looks delicious and perfect for autumn!
Pumpkin is my favorite fall flavor and I love pumpkin coffee so much that I stop at Dunkin every morning for their pumpkin spice coffee! The thought of making for myself on the weekend makes me SOOO happy!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this looks so perfect for an evening in front of the fire and TV snuggled up with a blanket when the evening start cooling down since autumn is impending! I’m not a coffee girl myself but my fella is.

I’m so glad that fall is around the corner because of recipes like this! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yay! Me too!
YES! I am totally ready for fall and the pumpkin-y spiced drinks (and food). Sooo glad you posted this so I can have it in my aresenal for cooler weather (if we ever get any–what’s up with that?!?!).
I am still waiting for cooler weather too. We had about 2 days of 60’s and then back to the 90’s.
One word for this: DELISH. I am so glad you published this recipe because with the fall weather approaching, I’m going to want to make all my coffees at home! YUM!!
Those look and sound delish – I used pumpkin in some cinnamon rolls last week and now I’m ready for everything pumpkin!
Wowza, this drink really caught my eye! So cozy! I’d love one of those curled up on the couch about now!!
Blessings,
Leslie
So glad you enjoyed this coffee. It’s currently in the high 80’s in the PacNW or I’d be busting open a can of pumpkin to make this! 🙂 Thanks for all of your sweet words and happy SRC day! 🙂

I enjoyed it totally…even with 90* weather! I love pumpkin that much!!! Thanks for a great recipe!
This looks like heaven, I mean it! I think I’m going to have left over pumpkin today, and I know how I’m going to use it! Thanks for this!
Thanks…I can’t wait to see what you used pumpkin in:-)
oh wow, this looks absolutely delicious! I make a homemade pumpkin spice latte, + i love the addition of the salted caramel in this. yum!
Salted caramel makes just about everything much better:-)
I love making pumpkin lattes at home and yours takes the cake! So creamy looking and with caramel, mmmmmmm!
The salted caramel took it over the top…so good!!!
I’ve never tried anything like this before so would be curious as to it’s taste. Would you happen to know if there is a substitute for cool whip? I’m not sure I can get that here in the UK. PS I also have my eye on your pumpkin oreo cheesecake which looks amazing!
Awesome. I just posted on instagram, seriously two minutes ago, my shot of coffee….Pumpkin spice. LOVE fall. Can’t wait to start baking with pumpkin. That is such a pretty picture too by the way 🙂
Perfect for a quiet morning…now if I could just find one of those 😉 Actually, I’d take this any time of day in the midst of my chaos – love that it’s salted caramel!
