Fall. Ahhhh, the cool hikes, cozy clothes, warm drinks, spur of the moment drives, autumn harvest, more baking ... and of course, the all-inclusive pumpkin spice. My kind of season!
I heard about a coffee shop offering a Pumpkin Mocha Latte and I thought, "Yum! That sounds delicious!" I knew their version probably had quite a bit of sugar or a sugar-free version was probably made with artificial sweetener, which I try to avoid even more than having too much sugar. So, on the hunt I went and made this simple, yet scrumptious, Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Latte.
My husband, who 'is (was) not a coffee drinker before', ends up drinking the majority of the cup we share every morning (then, I make a refill). In his words, I 'doctor it' when I fix drinks, and cook in general, so I 'make it better.' I smile at the compliment. Sometimes that 'doctoring' is as simple as a dash of cinnamon, a bit of real cream, ground almond powder, flax, etc... In other words, ingredients that are all natural and no or low all-natural sweetener (maple, honey, monk fruit, etc.). When it's real and flavorful, I consider it a win-win! Or maybe it makes more sense to say, "Doctor's orders!" ;-)
For Christmas, Sweet Hubby got me a new Keurig that has a built-in frother. We have thoroughly enjoyed the added froth, even including the cinnamon or other 'extra specials' right in with the liquid that we are frothing. In this coffee creation, we added pure unsweetened cocoa. Once blended with the pumpkin spice almond creamer, you couldn't even tell that it's unsweetened, only full yumminess!
Grab the ingredients!
Your Favorite Regular Coffee
Pumpkin Spice All-Natural Almond Creamer (If it is out of season, mix cream with pumpkin spice blend.)

Now, get to it!
Froth your cream and cocoa (not quite 2 TBSP)
Brew your java (coffee) (10 oz, robust setting)
Pour frothed cream into coffee (or coffee into cream if you prefer)

Lastly, as we like to say ... Get in my belly!
