**Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino (Starbucks Copycat)** Prep Time: 5 minutes Total Time: 5 minutes Servings: 1 drink **Ingredients:** 1 cup ice ½ cup cold brew coffee ½ cup milk of choice (I used whole milk) ¼ cup pumpkin spice syrup 1 ½ tablespoon canned pumpkin puree ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum Whipped cream and/or pumpkin pie spice are optional for garnish **Directions:** Add the ice to a high-speed blender, then add in the cold brew, milk, pumpkin spice syrup, pumpkin puree, and xanthan gum. Blend until smooth and no ice chunks remain. Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass, then top with whipped cream and/or pumpkin pie spice if desired. Drink up! **Notes:** Serving Suggestions: Whether you’re cozying up with a good book or hosting a festive fall gathering, here are a few serving suggestions to make every sip feel like a special treat: Red-Eye Special: Craving an extra coffee kick? Add a shot of espresso to your frappuccino for extra Go Juice. Take it a step further and swap in coffee ice cubes! Affogato-Style: Rather than blending the espresso in with the frap, pour an extra drizzle of cold brew on top for a fun twist on the Italian dessert. Ultra Decadent: Swap out the ice for a scoop of vanilla, cinnamon, or pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. Now it really IS a milkshake! Spiced Whip: Top your frappuccino with homemade cinnamon or pumpkin spice whipped cream for an extra layer of warm, spicy goodness. Cookie Crumble: Sprinkle crushed gingersnap cookies or cinnamon graham crackers over the whipped cream for a delightful pie crust-inspired crunch. Chocolaty Twist: Drizzle some dark chocolate mocha sauce over the whipped cream for a rich, chocolatey finish. You could also blend in some mini chocolate chips if you’d like! Recipe Success Tips: Don’t skip the emulsifier. Xanthan gum is pretty darn affordable and is available at many grocery stores (in the baking aisle!). It’s also essential for keeping the weight of the pumpkin and fall spices from separating and sinking to the bottom. If you can’t do xanthan gum, I’ve included a few alternatives in the substitutions section. Start cold. The chillier your ingredients are before adding them to the blender, the chillier they’ll be after blending. For additional chill, freeze your serving glass for 30 minutes. Use 100% pure pumpkin or either of the subs listed above. Do NOT try to swap in canned pumpkin pie filling—not only is it filled with all kinds of sweeteners and artificial stuff, it’s also not safe to eat without cooking. Blenders can often be replaced by immersion blenders, but not here. We want the full cyclone power of a pitcher-style blender to achieve the perfect frothy consistency. Substitutions: Ice - Double down on the coffee goodness by swapping in coffee ice cubes. Cold Brew Coffee - You can also use French press espresso or any other strong, cold coffee of your choice. You can brew hot coffee and chill it for this one! Whole Milk - Feel free to swap in the dairy or plant-based milk of choice. Pumpkin Spice Syrup - Since we’re adding a dollop of pumpkin in addition to using this syrup, you could probably get away with using another warmly spiced flavor. Toasted cinnamon syrup, cinnamon dolce syrup, cinnamon syrup, or gingerbread syrup are all good alternatives. Canned Pumpkin Purée - Unsweetened sweet potato purée or butternut squash purée will also do the trick! Xanthan Gum - You can use an equal amount of guar gum or lecithin (liquid or powdered, soy or sunflower) instead. Whipped Cream & Pumpkin Pie Spice - Feel free to omit these, or garnish your pumpkin frappuccino with other tasty toppings like pumpkin cream cold foam and cinnamon sugar. **Nutritional Facts:** Nutrition Serving: 1 drink | Calories: 208kcal | Carbohydrates: 40g | Protein: 4g | Fat: 4g | Sodium: 86mg | Sugar: 37g Recipe courtesy of [Coffee Copycat.com](https://coffeecopycat.com/pumpkin-spice-frappuccino-starbucks-copycat/) ![PumpkinSpiceFrappuccino1-1200x1800-1](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/6/c62bd2d6da28355de79cd23167970e51e0e46a3e.jpeg)
