Yes it’s that time of year again for pumpkin everything. These Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lattes are just perfect for a fall get together, and couldn’t get any easier. I start with a good brewed coffee because I know most of us don’t have an espresso machine. I stir in half and half, canned pumpkin, spices and sugar. And top with whipped cream. These slow cooker pumpkin spice lattes would be fun for after trick-or-treating, or for a fall brunch. Note- I don’t like my coffee overly sweet, so add the sugar to your taste.
I spent the weekend in Seattle for the International Food Blogger Conference. I’ll be posting about that later this week. I’m glad to be home and back to my routine for sure!
Here is the YouTube Video I made of these lattes! You can follow me on YouTube here.
I used aerosol whipped cream for this, but I often make it from scratch. Here is a good recipe if you want to make your own : Homemade Whipped Cream
- 7 cups hot brewed coffee(measure it after it is brewed)- I use Starbucks Pike's Place Roast
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1½ cups half and half or heavy cream
- ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 7 Tbsp. white sugar
- aerosol whipped cream (or homemade if your feeling ambitious)
- nutmeg for garnish
- In a 5 quart or larger slow cooker, add the coffee, pumpkin, half and half, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar. Stir.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 45min- 1 hour, or until hot.
- Stir, and serve topped with whipped cream and nutmeg.
Wow! Would cost a lot less per serving than getting it at a coffee shop. Can’t wait to try it. Do you think it could be refrigerated and reheated?
Yes I would think so!
That would be really nice for brunch or something a little bit fancy!
This looks so delicious! I love that it’s made in the slow cooker. How easy to make it for a crowd!
I never would have thought of making a drink in the slow cooker like this with pumpkin – what a fabulous idea!
Sarah! I am going to make this for Sunday morning this weekend. My boys will be visiting and what a yummy treat for them at breakfast! Love this recipe.
I love that there are so many ways to use your slow cooker! And pumpkin is always amazing in fall.
I have to try this recipe. It looks wonderful.
These look and sounds amazing!

What could I use instead of coffee? I’m not a big fan of the coffee flavored ones. Thanks!
Try Choffey, it’s brewed cocoa.
I bet it would be great if not better made with black tea or chia tea
7 measured out cups of coffee or 7 coffee -pot 6 oz cups of coffee?
Measured. I will add that!
How do you keep the dairy from “breaking” during a party?
I’ve never had that problem but I’m guessing it could happen. I know for some of my appetizers that are real cheesy, I switch from WARM to OFF occasionally, that would probably do the trick.
I wonder if you can use pureed pumpkin from fresh pumpkins instead of the pumpkin in a can. The two can be very different, but it would be cool to be able to use the guts from our homegrown pumpkins.
i LOVE the idea of making drinks in the crock pot! Will have to try this recipe the next time my daughter is visiting and we have brunch together with her sisters who live here! What a neat idea also for a Bible Study group!!
I am a lover of Iced Lattes. Do you think this would hold up in the refrigerator? I would also like to make this for a large group. Do you think it would be okay to use instant coffee at a higher strength than usual?
My sister made this for Thanksgiving.. Wow it was so tasty. I love Starbucks pumpkin spice latte and this was better!!! Going to make it for when we come back from apple picking.
It is great!! Although when using Dark Roast more sugar is needed obviously.
I actually made this today. It is good. Not a real sweet drink, so if you like it sweet, you should add more sugar. Kind of tastes like you are eating pumpkin pie. I used Columbian coffee brewed light not dark. I also used a pumpkin spiced flavor whipped cream from the can. Pretty delicious. I definitely recommend if you love pumpkin pie!
Where did you find the adorable pumpkin mugs?! I must have those for a gift!

How many does this make?
About 8 servings
What size of can did you use for the pumpkin purée? Can’t wait to make this!
I used 1 cup out of the smaller sized can, it was probably a 15-ounce can.
So ok to put it all together, leave in fridge and then before ready to serve put in crock pot for @ 1 Hr?
I’m unsure how the coffee would taste after being chilled then reheated. Also it would probably take 2+ hours to rehaeat even on high. If you try it and it still takes good, please let us know!
