Ingredients- 1/4 small pumpkin
- 200ml milk
- 2-3 Tbsp condensed milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the pumpkin thoroughly. Then, use a vegetable peeler to remove the entire skin. While you can enjoy it with the skin on, removing it is recommended for a smoother texture.
Step 2
After peeling, use a spoon to scoop out all the seeds from the inside of the pumpkin. Once the seeds are removed, rinse the pumpkin inside and out under running water to ensure it’s clean.
Step 3
Cut the prepared pumpkin into 16 wedges. You’ll only need about 1/4 of the pumpkin to make a delicious pumpkin latte.
Step 4
Fill a steamer with plenty of water and place the pumpkin pieces on the steaming rack. Start steaming over high heat. Wait until steam is visibly rising.
Step 5
Once steam starts to escape the steamer, reduce the heat to medium and steam the pumpkin for about 9 minutes. It’s important to steam until the pumpkin is thoroughly tender.
Step 6
Take out 1/4 of the steamed pumpkin from the steamer. To make it easier to blend in the mixer, cut it into bite-sized pieces while it’s still warm. Be careful as it will be hot.
Step 7
Pour 200ml of cold milk over the cut, warm pumpkin pieces. You can adjust the amount of milk depending on the pumpkin’s consistency or your preference.
Step 8
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of condensed milk to the pumpkin and milk for sweetness. You can substitute with honey or sugar, but condensed milk will provide a smoother and richer sweetness.
Step 9
Now, place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Blend for a considerable amount of time until you achieve a creamy latte consistency with no pumpkin lumps. A tip for smoother blending is to pulse the blender, stop, and then blend again.
Step 10
Pour the smoothly blended pumpkin latte into a nice glass, and your sweet and hearty pumpkin latte is ready! Enjoy it warm or cold.
