This is what happens when Summer meets Fall:
Hellooooo Fall.
Yes, Fall is fast approaching, meaning it’s once again time for comfy boots and sweaters, crisp and juicy apples, tangerine leaves that get lost in the whistling breeze…
And pumpkin.
Lots and lots of pumpkin.
What better way to welcome Fall than with a homemade Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino?
You don’t even need to leave your pajamas!
Pumpkin Pie Frappuccinos
(makes 2 large servings)
Inspired by my Healthy Starbucks Frappuccino Recipe.
- 2 cups milk of choice (480g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp instant coffee granules (decaf or regular)
- scant 1/16 tsp salt
- stevia extract to taste, or 3 tbsp sugar (or other sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (120g)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)
Mix the ingredients together in 1 or 2 shallow plastic containers. Freeze. (You could also use an ice cube tray.) Once frozen, pop the blocks out of the containers. Thaw until just soft enough for your blender to be able to handle it, and blend until desired slushiness is reached. Add extra sweetener if needed, but do NOT add ice! It will dilute the flavor. Pour into two glasses and enjoy. Note: the flavor and texture will obviously vary depending on your choice of milk. I’m sure many types of milk will yield a good result, but I’ve only tried the recipe with Silk almond milk.
Fill in the blank: The best thing about Fall is _____________.
Pumpkin season? Apple season? Butternut squash? My favorite part of Fall is probably the cooler weather it brings. Goodbye 100-degree days!

OMG this looks AMAZING! I can’t wait to try! The best thing about fall without a doubt is pumpkin!!
I LOVE finding pumpkin spice hot drink recipes seeing as Starbucks puts condensed milk in theirs. I think it’d tooootally be worth it to get an espresso machine just to boycott Starbucks – $200 is nothing, am I right?! haha
haha. I know what you mean. Found out Starbucks used milk in theirs and haven’t gone since. I’ll just make my own.
Do you think this would also be tasty withOUT the coffee?
Haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not.
Wow!! I can’t wait to try this.
How did you get your whipped cream so perfect? (I am guessing it’s coconut based)
Soyatoo extra creamy.
I’ve never heard of that… Thank you!!!!
talking about pumpkins – last fall i baked your pumpkin chocolate brownie, once, then for a second time, then more and more times, because every time i baked it, it immediately disappeared. and now my friends are giving mi suggestions – you know.. ekhem.. pumpkin season…. this chocolate cake you brought.. remember? 😀
Oh wow! I don’t do coffee but I might have to make this for my husband! He’d love it!
My favorite thing about fall is as the weather cools off I can COOK again because my kitchen doesn’t get so hot as the afternoon sun hits it. Soups and stews and roasts and oh yum…I know, you’re a vegan, but, well, I’m not. 😉 But I don’t consume wheat or dairy so I LOVE your recipes!
🙂 I love boots and sweaters!!! 🙂 My mom loves pumpkin! I might have to make it for her…… 🙂
Haha, I don’ like coffee, so I may put cocoa powder in this too!
I made a banana frappuccino the other day but i’m definitely going to have to try this bad boy out soon! thanks
Yes!!!!! Thank you so much! I’ve been addicted to these lately but I won’t let myself indulge often because of the price and calories. I actually pinned a different recipe for this yesterday and was planning to try it.. But of course I’ll be making your version now because I’ve loved everything I’ve made off of your blog 🙂 So excited! There are so many things I love about fall. Just the atmosphere in general.. The decorations, changing leaves, cooler weather, and pumpkin flavored everything!
