Pumpkin Spice is a major thing here in the States, basically from September through February. Maybe even into March.
Pumpkin Spice season is practically a national event at this point, and doubly so for the flavoring in coffee. It’s available at every, single coffee shop, and in every brand of loose coffee and/or instant cups. And now we have a Ballistic Keto MCT-boosted version that is super easy to make, loaded with good fats, and doesn't contain the 30+ grams of sugar that are in the small sized cup down at your local coffee joint.
You're welcome.
Ingredients
- 1 c (8 fl oz/237 ml) strong brewed coffee, hot
- 1/4 c (2 fl oz/ 59 ml) heavy cream
- 1 scoop (1/3 oz/ 10 g) Ballistic Keto caramel-flavored MCT Oil Powder (or plain MCT powder + 1/4-1/2 tsp caramel extract, to taste, and a heavy pinch sea salt)
- 1 tbsp pure pumpkin purée (not the pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend of your choice (My favorite is the Spice Islands brand, which is very ginger-heavy.)
- 4 drops vanilla liquid stevia, or your favorite sweetener to taste
- whipped heavy cream and ground cinnamon to garnish, if desired
Instructions
Easiest method:
- Heat the heavy cream in the microwave in 30 second increments until it's steaming hot.
- In a blender bottle, add all ingredients except the garnish.
- Put the lid on and shake until well combined, a good fifteen to thirty seconds should do it.
- Open and pour into a cup and garnish as desired.
- Enjoy!
Stovetop method:
- Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and begin to heat over high.
- Whisk the pumpkin, spices, and MCT powder into the heating cream very well. It will dissolve as you whisk and the cream heats.
- Once the cream mixture is steaming, whisk in the hot coffee and sweetener until it's well combined.
- Pour into a cup and garnish as desired.
- Enjoy!
Immersion Blender method:
- Heat the heavy cream in the microwave in 30 second increments until it's steaming hot.
- Add all the ingredients except garnish to your blender cup.
- Insert your immersion blender into the cup and turn it on.
- Blend until it's well combined and frothy.
- Pour into a cup and garnish as desired.
- Enjoy!
