Pumpkin Spice Latte syrup is the perfect blend of warm, sweet spices combined with the smooth taste of pumpkin. This syrup is ideal for drizzling over ice cream, swirling into your creations, or even adding to your coffee for an autumnal touch. Easy to prepare, it's the perfect base for indulgent desserts.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of water
- 200g of brown sugar
- 100g of pumpkin (or squash) puree
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of strong coffee or espresso (optional, for the latte effect)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar.
In a saucepan, combine the water and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. - Add the pumpkin puree and spices.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture thickens slightly and the spices are well infused. - Add the vanilla and coffee.
Off the heat, add the vanilla extract and, if you want to enhance the coffee flavor, a tablespoon of strong coffee or espresso. Stir well to combine. - Strain the syrup (optional).
If you prefer a smooth syrup, you can pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the pumpkin pieces. This will make the syrup more fluid for adding to drinks or drizzling over ice cream. - Store the syrup.
Let it cool, then pour the syrup into an airtight bottle. It can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
My Personal Tip:
This Pumpkin Spice Latte syrup is perfect for drizzling over vanilla or frozen yogurt with Ninja Creami. It can also be used to swirl coffee ice cream for a burst of spicy flavor. And of course, you can add it to coffee to create a decadent homemade latte, with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. For an even more autumnal touch, try it on pancakes or crepes with a scoop of ice cream for a comforting dessert.
There you have it, an easy-to-prepare homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte syrup, ideal for your frozen creations and drinks, with an irresistible touch of autumn!
