Once the weather starts to cool down it’s time to start using those mugs to make delicious warm drinks. This white chocolate pumpkin latte is filled with rich white melted chocolate, cream, infused with all spice, and of course has a mild delicious taste of pumpkin.
This is a great beverage to drink first thing in the morning or to enjoy at night relaxing on the couch.
The cooler months is the best time of year to really enjoy and embrace the pumpkin flavours. Pumpkin pairs really well in many sweet treats from pumpkin pancakes to pumpkin lattes. Pumpkins are easy to come by and are pretty cheap right now so why not try something new.
Ingredients Needed To Make Pumpkin Latte
To make this delicious drink there are a few key ingredients you will need!
- White Chocolate: It can be a bar of white cooking chocolate, or white chocolate chips. Either of these will work.
- Pumpkin puree either homemade or from a can.
- All spice or Cinnamon
- Milk: It can be any type of milk that you enjoy and like.
- Cream: This is optional, but wow does it add that extra amazing creaminess. Believe me you won’t regret it!
- Vanilla essence or extract. Also, delicious and you don’t need much of it!
- Pinch of salt. I like to use sea salt or Himalayan salt. This enhances the flavour and adds a bit more minerals to your drink.
How To Make Pumpkin Latte Step By Step
- Add 1 cup of milk and white chocolate to a pot and low to medium heat. This helps the white chocolate to melt faster.
- Once the white chocolate is melting add the remaining milk, cream, pumpkin puree, allspice, salt and vanilla and whisk.
- Whisk well until it starts to froth a bit on top, then remove from heat.
- Pour into mugs and top it with whip cream and a bit of cinnamon if you want! So delicious and easy to make! Enjoy!
Pumpkin Latte Tips and Tricks
- Either use homemade roasted and mashed pumpkin. It gives the latte more flavour or use canned pumpkin.
- You can use whatever milk you want it can be vegetarian milk as well.
- If you do not have white chocolate I have found equal parts of edible cocoa butter, milk solids and sugar to create that same white chocolate taste and consistency in the drink to work.

Questions And Answers
Are Pumpkin Lattes Healthy?
While pumpkin lattes are delicious, I wouldn’t say they are healthy due to the amount of sugar found in white chocolate. It’s a drink best drunk in moderation and not for actual health benefits.
What Is The Best Milk To Use For Pumpkin Spice Latte?
I personally love whole milk, preferably raw is even better as it foams nicely and is creamier than skinny milk. Another really tasty option for vegetarians though in my opinion is oat milk. It tastes like breakfast in a mug!
