Instructions

Prepare strong coffee: Brew your coffee until it is strongly flavored, forming a bold base that balances the sweetness and spices in the frappuccino.
Blend ingredients: Add brewed coffee, unsweetened milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, Belans, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of ice cubes into a blender. Blend slowly at first then increase speed until smooth and thick, ensuring no chunks remain and flavors are well incorporated.
Adjust thickness: Check the frappuccino’s consistency. If too thin, add up to 1 more cup of ice cubes and blend again to achieve a creamy, refreshing texture.
Make warm pumpkin topping: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, Belans, and maple syrup if extra sweetness is desired. Stir or whisk continuously until mixture foams and bubbles gently (about 2-3 minutes), then remove from heat to avoid boiling over.
Assemble drinks: Pour the blended frappuccino evenly into two glasses, then drizzle the warm pumpkin mixture on top to add a fragrant, inviting layer.
Garnish and serve: Top each glass with whipped cream or coconut cream. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or additional Belans and add chocolate chips or drizzle chocolate syrup if desired for extra flavor and visual appeal.
