What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

• 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee for espresso
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla simple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin simple syrup
• whipped topping
• cinnamon

FAQs

1. Can I use store-bought pumpkin syrup?
Yes, you absolutely can. Just ensure it is of good quality to get the best flavors.

2. Can I substitute cinnamon for another spice?
Cinnamon pairs incredibly well with pumpkin, but if you’re not a fan, you could try nutmeg or allspice.

3. What type of coffee is best to use?
An espresso roast will provide the deepest flavor. However, feel free to use your favorite type of coffee.

Tips and Tricks

1. Make sure your coffee is finely ground – it should have a texture similar to powdered sugar. This ensures a rich, robust espresso.
2. Adding the syrups to the espresso while it’s still hot will ensure they fully dissolve and blend.

Variations

1. Spiced Pumpkin Espresso: Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the espresso for a warming spice kick.
2. Vegan Pumpkin Vanilla Espresso: Use a vegan whipped topping for a dairy-free version.
3. Decaf Pumpkin Vanilla Espresso: Use decaf espresso for a caffeine-free alternative.

Where to Serve

This Pumpkin Vanilla Espresso is the perfect drink to serve at fall gatherings, Thanksgiving dinners, or simply as a cozy evening treat.

Storage

The individual components (espresso and syrups) can be stored separately and assembled when needed. Store the espresso in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and keep the syrups in a cool, dark place for up to a month.

Common Problems and How to Avoid Them

1. Espresso too bitter: Make sure your coffee is freshly roasted and ground, and not over-extracted.
2. Lack of flavor: Ensure the syrups are of good quality. If the flavor is still lacking, consider increasing the amount used.

Topping Options

While the recipe calls for whipped topping and cinnamon, feel free to experiment. A sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce would also be delightful.

Today I have a yummy way to add a little fall flavor to your coffee. Enjoy!
