What ingredients will I need to make pumpkin spice latte milkshakes?
You only need 7 ingredients to make these tasty shakes:
- Coconut milk and your favourite low-carb liquid sweetener to make coconut whipped cream (more on this below!)
- Instant coffee (can sub 1 shot freshly brewed espresso)
- Ice cream - we like this sugar free vanilla ice cream from Sugar Free Londoner (or try Keto Pint, Rebel Ice Cream or Halo

How to make coconut whipped cream:
Coconut whipped cream is a dairy-free alternative to whipped cream made from coconut milk. Here's how to make your own at home in just 3 easy steps:
- Refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight. This causes the coconut milk to separate into a runny liquid and thick cream.
- Remove the thick cream from the can and transfer to a bowl. The leftover liquid can be used in smoothies.
- Whisk up the thick cream with 2 tablespoon of your favourite low-carb sweetener (optional).

Variations on this recipe:
- Not a fan of coffee? Simply omit it!
- If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own using ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- If you do not wish to make coconut whipped cream, you can use regular whipped cream instead.
- Why not add in a teaspoon or two of homemade pistachio almond butter for extra flavour?

Where can you get sugar free Pumpkin Puree
Kim Hardesty says
Hi Meghan. It's just canned pumpkin puree, which should be no sugar added - like Libby's. It's actually not "sugar free" as pumpkin contains natural sugars. Don't use pumpkin pie filling which has other ingredients including added sugar. -Kim
