Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk

Cinnamon Cream Topping

  • 3/4 cup chilled plant-based cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Warm up the base: Pour the apple cider into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Slowly bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the natural aromas to awaken your senses.
  2. Mix in pumpkin and spices: Whisk in the pure pumpkin puree, cinnamon powder, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir continuously so the spices infuse evenly, and the pumpkin integrates smoothly with the cider.
  3. Sweeten and cream: Add maple syrup (natural) to taste, then pour in the plant-based milk. Continue to heat just until warm; avoid boiling to keep the ingredients from separating and to maintain that silky texture.
  4. Prepare the cinnamon cream topping: Using chilled plant-based cream, gently whip it with cinnamon powder (natural) and a natural gelling agent until soft peaks form. This will give you a fluffy cinnamon cream that melts earnestly into the spiced cider.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the hot Pumpkin Apple Cider with Cinnamon Cream into your favorite mug and dollop the cinnamon cream on top generously. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder over for the perfect finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use room temperature or slightly warmed plant-based milk to prevent curdling when mixing with hot cider.
  • Keep the heat gentle to preserve flavors and prevent bitterness from developing.
  • Make the cinnamon cream shortly before serving to maintain fluffiness and freshness.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for the best taste quality.
  • Start with less sweetener and adjust to your preference as some apple ciders are naturally sweeter.
