Pumpkin Sauce Recipe

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp fine salt

Method
 

  1. Add the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, water, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and fine salt to a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fully smooth.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar, pressing gently with a spatula. Let cool to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  4. Spoon 2 to 3 tbsp into a mug, add espresso or strong coffee, stir, top with steamed milk, and finish with a dusting of pumpkin pie spice on the foam.

Notes

The sauce thickens noticeably once refrigerated, which is normal. A quick stir before using brings it back to a pourable consistency. If you want to make it a day ahead, it is actually a little better the next morning once the spices have had time to settle in.
