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:

  1. 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.
  2. Pour hot milk into blender and pulse until frothy. 
  3. Divide milk into 2 mugs.  Pour coffee in gently.
  4. 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’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!

    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 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.
