Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or large container, combine the cooled brewed coffee, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and sugar. This mixture creates the flavorful base of the frappuccino.
Whisk Well: Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, ensuring that the spices and sweeteners are well distributed.
Prepare for Blending: Transfer the pumpkin spice coffee mixture to a blender. Add the ice cubes to the blender to start forming the frappuccino’s signature slushy texture.
Blend: Pulse the blender several times until the ice and coffee mixture have combined into a smooth, slushy consistency. Avoid over-blending to maintain a nice texture.
Serve: Pour the blended frappuccino into your favorite cup or glass.
Garnish: Top the drink with whipped cream and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top if desired, adding extra flavor and a festive look.

Notes

Use cooled coffee to prevent melting the ice too quickly and diluting the texture.
Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup and sugar to taste.
For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
Make sure the pumpkin puree is plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which contains extra spices and sugar.
Serve immediately for the best slushy texture.
