Is there anything that gets people more excited this time of year than the arrival of the holiday coffee drinks in the coffeeshops and cafes?
Now that pumpkin recipes abound all around me, I couldn’t resist trying my hand at a homemade version of this popular drink, without any of the flavored syrups.
I adapted my Cafe con Leche recipe to turn it into this rich and creamy holiday treat.
Definitely not a first thing in the morning coffee fix for me, but an awesome treat for dessert or for enjoying while spending the afternoon with a friend. I made ours with decaf espresso and let the kids have a few sips too.
The recipe can easily be halved for one drink or doubled for more. With or without the whipped cream and caramel, this drink is a great fall treat.
