This is the best pumpkin frappuccino recipe

It’s pumpkin season in August so naturally we want everything refreshing and that’s what this pumpkin frappuccino is all about.

As soon as Starbucks released its fall menu the vibe switched, everyone became pumpkin pie spice obsessed and it totally makes sense. After the intense heat that this summer has been made out of, we all need a little something extra refreshing. So naturally showing you how to make your own pumpkin spice frappuccino seemed like the next best thing!

Why you need to make this recipe!

  • This recipe will only take minutes of your time saving you a ton of time as well as money in the long run.
  • The pumpkin flavor in this drink is perfectly balanced. 
  • This drink tastes even better than the one you get at your local Starbucks.

What ingredients are in the Starbucks pumpkin spice frappuccino?

The Starbucks menu page says that their pumpkin frappuccino contains ice, milk, coffee frappuccino syrup which acts as the frappuccino base in this drink, coffee, whipped cream, pumpkin spice sauce, as well as pumpkin spice topping. 

To be able to recreate this recipe perfectly we are going to have to make the pumpkin sauce before making this drink. It is made with sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree and spices and will come together in about 10 minutes!
