What We Tried: Pumpkin Pie Mocha /Coffee Recipe

With the first day of Autumn upon us, my taste buds have been having daydreams about pumpkin spice mochas. After some digging online I found a recipe I had to try.

I followed this recipe and added the spices directly to my coffee as instructed, but I could still taste the powder a bit. I am posting the recipe as written, and then I will tell you what I did this morning that was YUMMY.


Pumpkin Pie Mocha 

  • Makes one 6-8 oz cup. (Adjust the spice to your tastes.)
  • 2/3 cup coffee
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 – 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice*

Mix all and enjoy!

* Pumpkin Pie Spice

  • 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg

What I did… I mixed the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves and ground nutmeg and put them in a sealed container. I took 1 tsp. of this mixture and added it directly to the coffee grounds and brewed the pot (I only did a 10 cup pot. If I do a full 12 cup I will probably do 1 1 /2 tsp.)

I also found this recipe that I want to try, but haven’t had the chance yet. It sounds just as yummy Smile.

Your Pumpkin Pie Mocha recipe looks better than anything they have at Starbucks or Peets. Thank you for posting this! (Plus, it looks very easy, even for a non cook * grin *).

I LOVE pumpkin pie. I dream about it during the year, because we ONLY ever have pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I may have to try your creamer recipe, but with 2% milk for a lighter version. Probably won’t taste quite as nice, but sounds heavenly!

I am a coffee fanatic and love trying different flavors. I typically just buy them pre-made at the store without even thinking that I could make my own!! What a great idea!
