Recipe by Jackie Akerberg

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 Organic Pitted Natural Delights Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Preparation

Make the Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam

If your dates are firm, soak them briefly in boiling water to soften (skip if soft).

Combine all cold foam ingredients in a blender.

Blend until silky, frothy, and smooth.

Pour immediately over your latte. Store leftover foam in the fridge (re-froth before use).

Prepare the Matcha Base

Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to avoid clumps.

Add the hot water and whisk using a bamboo whisk (or electric frother) until it’s foamy and smooth.

In a separate glass, pour your dairy-free milk (or mix with ice if making iced).

Gently layer the matcha atop the milk (or stir lightly).

Combine & Serve

Top your matcha drink with a generous dollop of the pumpkin spice cold foam.

Optional: sprinkle extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top

Serve immediately and enjoy!
