Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of sugar-free sweetener, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. If desired, prepare whipped cream for topping.
- In a small saucepan, pour in the 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the milk to warm up gradually. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
- Once the almond milk is warm (but not boiling), add in the 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated into the almond milk, creating a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Next, add the 1 tablespoon of sugar-free sweetener and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the saucepan. Continue to whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the sweetener has dissolved completely.
- Allow the mixture to heat for an additional minute or two, stirring continuously, until it reaches your desired temperature. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat. If you prefer a frothy texture, you can use a milk frother or whisk vigorously for a minute to incorporate air into the mixture.
- Pour the creamy pumpkin spice mixture into a mug. If desired, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- Sprinkle a pinch of additional pumpkin pie spice on top of the whipped cream for garnish, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting Creamy Pumpkin Spice Steamer!
Tips
- • For the smoothest texture, whisk the pumpkin puree thoroughly to prevent any lumps in your steamer. • Use a milk frother or immersion blender for an extra creamy, cafe-style foam if you want a more luxurious drink. • Choose a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit to keep the drink low-calorie. • Make sure to heat the milk gradually and avoid boiling to preserve the delicate flavors and prevent scorching. • For a richer taste, you can substitute almond milk with oat milk or coconut milk. • If you're dairy-free, the whipped cream topping can be replaced with dairy-free alternatives like coconut whipped cream. • Experiment with different pumpkin pie spice blends to find your perfect flavor profile.
