Ingredients:
Whipped topping
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
Latte
2 cups 2% milk
6 Tbsp canned pumpkin puree
3 Tbsp brown sugar, or to taste

Instructions:
1. For the whipped topping: In a medium mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer whip together heavy cream with sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or you can just spoon it over the latte).

3. Remove from heat, stir in hot coffee or espresso and vanilla extract. Tint with food color if desired (it should only take a few drops).
4. Pour into three mugs. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over to taste. Serve right away.
