I love food made with pumpkin and everything that has to do with pumpkin. Muffins, pies, cookies, bars, scones, risotto - whatever it is, I'm bound to love it. So, when of course everyone got all excited for the pumpkin lattes that were out this season, I thought, you know what? I have avoided all coffee shops for some time and I really want to keep it that way, so why not remake this yourself. There are tons of recipes on Pinterest, so I went to check them out. It seems like every blogger and their brother has written about this but to be honest, I found their recipes to have a lot of ingredients for something way too simple. They also served more than one person, and honestly, who else is going to drink this but me? So I needed to come up with a one person only recipe. Also, I prefer my coffee beverages cold, not hot, so I had to switch that up too. Naturally I turned to a staple in my fridge, the new International Delight "Light" Iced Coffee beverages (pictured below). My very favorite is the Mocha - but I didn't have that on hand, so I used the Vanilla version for this recipe. I'm sure you could use any of the three and get something pretty terrific!
Iced Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Latte
Serves One
Ingredients:
1 C. International Delight Iced Coffee in Vanilla Light flavor
(or any other type of coffee beverage you might want to try.)
2 Tbs. Pumpkin Puree
(pure pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie mix.)
2 packets or more to taste of artificial sweetener
(I used sweet-n-low packets.)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
1. Measure all of the ingredients into a blender, magic bullet, or whatever it is you use to process smoothies.
2. Blend well.
3. Pour into a glass over ice and sip with a straw.
ENJOY!
Until Next Time,
J.K. Sasse
