This sweet frozen drink is an easy and delicious copycat version of a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. It’s made with real pureed pumpkin and fresh-brewed coffee. I add a touch of pumpkin pie spice to amp up the flavor. The maple syrup and sugar make it perfectly sweet. I add milk as well, and it comes out amazing every time! You may even make it with decaf coffee, too.

Recipe Ingredients

These ingredients are going to give you the best-tasting pumpkin spice latte frappuccino at home. It has real pumpkin, milk, and sweeteners to give you the flavor you know and love.

Coffee: Use your favorite variety of brewed coffee. It can be unflavored, pumpkin-flavored, or any kind, such as caramel!
Milk: I typically make this recipe with whole milk, but you may use low-fat, skim milk, or non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk.
Pumpkin puree: Feel free to use canned or Homemade Pumpkin puree. This is where you get the authentic pumpkin flavor.
Maple syrup: I recommend real maple syrup for this and not breakfast syrup. If you don’t have it, try honey instead!
Vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla complements the pumpkin spice flavor so well.
Pumpkin spice: I like to add pumpkin pie spice for a warm cinnamon and extra pumpkin flavor. You can use cinnamon or nutmeg instead if you prefer.
Sugar: This will sweeten your drink. I like to add it to the coffee before it cools so there’s no grainy texture.
Ice cubes: Blending the coffee mixture with ice will give you that slushy frozen texture of a frappuccino.
Whipped cream: This is an optional garnish on top to make it fancy! I also like to finish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips for Success

Make it when you want it. This recipe is best made fresh. I do not recommend making extra and storing it in the refrigerator or freezer. It will not have the same texture.
Allow the coffee to cool. Unless you are making a cold brew, allow the brewed hot coffee to cool significantly before you add the other ingredients and the ice so you achieve the slushy texture.
