Place the heavy cream in the coldest part of your fridge until you are ready to whip.
For best volume, chill a metal mixing bowl and whisk or beaters for at least 10 minutes.
Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Whisk by hand or with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, then refrigerate until serving.
In a small saucepan, whisk together pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until smooth.
Whisk in the whole milk, then warm over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Brew 2 shots of espresso, or use 1/2 cup very strong hot brewed coffee if you lack an espresso maker.
Pour the hot espresso or coffee into a large mug, then slowly add the steaming pumpkin milk mixture.
For a cafe-style froth, whisk the milk vigorously or use a handheld frother before pouring it into the mug.
Dollop the vanilla whipped cream over the latte, then sprinkle lightly with extra pumpkin pie spice if desired.
Serve immediately while hot, and sip slowly to enjoy the layers of spice, pumpkin, and creamy foam.

Linda: Loved it! 🫶🏼
: Happy you loved it, Linda!
Rachel, NYC: It was perfect for me, and not too sweet. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
: Happy it hit the spot for you, Rachel!
Cindy, Fayetteville: Really hit the spot and tasted surprisingly close to the coffee shop version. The pumpkin and spice blend into the milk nicely, and the homemade whipped cream is worth the extra minute. Next time I’m going to cut the granulated sugar back a bit since it was a touch sweet for me, especially with the sweetened whipped cream on top.
: Happy it hit the spot, Cindy!
Mildred, Wichita: I followed this pretty closely, but the pumpkin milk mixture turned out a bit grainy and the spice was overpowering, even with just 1/2 tsp. The drink also tasted kind of flat once the espresso was mixed in, so it didn’t really hit that Starbucks-style flavor for me.
: Sorry it didn’t hit the mark, Mildred. For a smoother base, whisk the pumpkin purée, sugar, and spice into the milk over gentle heat (don’t let it simmer), and next time start with 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice then add more to taste.
