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.

September 22, 2014 at 9:31 amWow! 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?
Sarah Olson says
September 22, 2014 at 9:50 amYes I would think so!
Grandma Kc says
September 22, 2014 at 11:23 amThat would be really nice for brunch or something a little bit fancy!
Sheena @ Hot Eats and Cool Reads says
September 22, 2014 at 2:05 pmThis looks so delicious! I love that it’s made in the slow cooker. How easy to make it for a crowd!
Jen says
September 22, 2014 at 11:08 pmI never would have thought of making a drink in the slow cooker like this with pumpkin – what a fabulous idea!

October 4, 2017 at 11:10 pmThis sounds like International Delite Pumpkin Spice I use it in my Gloria Jean Buttery Toffee coffee that I make in my Keurig coffee maker fast simpler & anytime I want

Rachael Yerkes says
September 23, 2014 at 7:46 amI love that there are so many ways to use your slow cooker! And pumpkin is always amazing in fall.
Michele @ Flavor Mosaic says
September 23, 2014 at 6:27 pmI have to try this recipe. It looks wonderful.

October 2, 2014 at 8:04 amWhat could I use instead of coffee? I’m not a big fan of the coffee flavored ones. Thanks!
Misty says
October 2, 2014 at 5:25 pmTry Choffey, it’s brewed cocoa.
Brenda P says
August 31, 2017 at 3:06 pmNo reason you couldn’t use tea. It would be delicious.
Stacy Stelly says
August 18, 2018 at 3:41 pmYou could use the Harney & Son’s tea in Hot Cinnamon Sunset or Pumpkin Spice flavors. Trust me you will not be disappointed. This recipe is incredible.
Sarah Olson says
August 19, 2018 at 8:18 amI have that tea. I will try, thank you for the tip.
dawn says
October 2, 2014 at 3:27 pmI bet it would be great if not better made with black tea or chia tea
Lisa says
October 2, 2014 at 6:04 pm7 measured out cups of coffee or 7 coffee -pot 6 oz cups of coffee?
Sarah Olson says
October 2, 2014 at 6:43 pmMeasured. I will add that!
Theresa says
October 2, 2014 at 8:03 pmHow do you keep the dairy from “breaking” during a party?
Sarah Olson says
October 2, 2014 at 8:29 pmI’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.
melissa says
October 2, 2014 at 9:49 pmI 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.
Vicki Richards says
October 5, 2014 at 12:47 pmi 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!!
Rita Kaye Bragdon says
October 9, 2014 at 9:40 amI 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?
Tammy says
October 11, 2014 at 6:47 pmMy 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.
Ken says
October 16, 2014 at 9:43 amIt is great!! Although when using Dark Roast more sugar is needed obviously.
Diana Hall says
October 4, 2015 at 7:53 amI 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!

September 18, 2016 at 9:17 amWhere did you find the adorable pumpkin mugs?! I must have those for a gift!

Jessica Reagan says
September 20, 2016 at 7:16 pmHow many does this make?
Sarah Olson says
September 20, 2016 at 8:59 pmAbout 8 servings
Stef says
September 24, 2016 at 6:56 amWhat size of can did you use for the pumpkin purée? Can’t wait to make this!
Sarah Olson says
September 24, 2016 at 7:33 amI used 1 cup out of the smaller sized can, it was probably a 15-ounce can.
Joanne says
October 5, 2016 at 9:54 amSo ok to put it all together, leave in fridge and then before ready to serve put in crock pot for @ 1 Hr?
Sarah Olson says
October 6, 2016 at 8:39 pmI’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!
Brandon says
September 2, 2017 at 6:43 amHas anyone tried leaving this on warm for a few hours? I thought about making this for work, but it would probably be more of people stopping by to get it throughout the work day. Not sure how long it might hold up?
Rachelle says
September 6, 2017 at 10:52 amCould I use splenda or Trivia instead of sugar?
Sarah Olson says
September 6, 2017 at 11:31 amI don’t see why not! You won’t need as much since it’s concentrated.
Dorothy J Mullen says
October 23, 2017 at 5:45 pmAnyone ever tried making this with fireball cinnamon whiskey? Alcohol is necessary to tolerate my family gatherings :p any tips on how much to use?
Sarah Olson says
October 23, 2017 at 8:23 pmHi Dorothy! LOL I would serve it on the side, pour a bit (or a lot) in your cup before adding the latte.
Camille says
September 1, 2018 at 6:41 pmWhere did you get those cute pumpkin mugs?

Lindsay Davis says
October 21, 2018 at 1:50 pmI made it for my church and it was a huge hit! The only thing was that I prefer to use a bit more cinnamon and a whole pint of half and half to tame it down a bit. It was delicious! Wonderful recipe!!
Sarah Olson says
October 21, 2018 at 5:08 pmI love the half and half idea.
Emily says
October 23, 2018 at 4:20 amCould you use skim milk to make it like a “skinny” or fat free latte?
Sarah Olson says
October 23, 2018 at 9:28 amYou could Emily, it would taste different for sure. Maybe add a little fat free half and half to make it less watery?
Meagan says
October 25, 2018 at 7:31 pmHas anyone tried this with full fat coconut milk?
Patty says
November 8, 2018 at 5:58 pmDid you try it? Love coconut milk!

November 8, 2018 at 12:49 pmThank you for sharing this recipe! I’m going to be making this for a Favorite things party! 🙂
Ki says
November 27, 2018 at 7:51 pmWow, this recipe is delicious! Easy to make – you don’t need the whipped cream.
