I googled this because I wanted a low carb option to still be able to enjoy my pumpkin spice latte's .... I made it the first time with the cream- it was a bit too rich for me, and made my tummy hurt. So.... I did half the cream, and half milk.... I plan on replacing the milk with the hood carb control coffee, but all and all I am super pleased with the outcome! Very tasty!

Great alternative to Starbucks. I used a little less cream and added in some milk as I'm really sensitive to cream and it makes me ill. Still tasted great and the texture was good too.

This was delicious, but I thought it was too much cream for one drink and it watered down the pumpkin pie flavor. I used a homemade pumpkin pie spice blend (from this site) since I don't usually stock pumpkin pie spice, and that worked out well. I don't usually put sugar in my coffee, but I found that sugar really is necessary in this drink in order to get the right pumpkin pie flavor. Thank you, AnnieGirl.

This is a delicious drink. The spice created kind of a grainy texture. I made this a few times to try to get rid of the grainy texture, and I found adding the pumpkin pie spice to the blending process helped a little bit. Made with recipe #394438. Thanks AnnieGirl for a great recipe. Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.
