The Dalgona coffee trend exploded in spring: a creamy blend of instant coffee, sugar, hot water, milk, and ice, whipped to perfection. Its rich texture and bold taste made it irresistible. Now, we've crafted an autumn edition that's just as addictive.

Drawing inspiration from iconic pumpkin spice lattes, this recipe infuses the whipped Dalgona base with pumpkin pie spice and puree. It's straightforward to prepare and so flavorful, you may want a decaf version for all-day sipping.
1. Combine two tablespoons of instant coffee or espresso, two tablespoons of granulated sugar, a quarter teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and two tablespoons of hot water in a small bowl.
2. Whip with a hand mixer for about 3 to 4 minutes until foamy and stiff, like whipped egg whites. (A whisk works too, but expect more effort and time.)
3. For extra flavor, quickly blend in a tablespoon of canned pumpkin puree without deflating the airy texture.
4. Fill a glass with ice cubes and milk of choice (like oat or almond), spoon the whipped mixture on top, add a straw, and savor your autumn treat!
