A couple of weeks ago, just as fall was beginning, we went to the beach with a few friends for the weekend. Both mornings we were there, Jason made a run to a local café for what he referred to as his addiction; Pumpkin Spice Lattes. That was the start of my own pumpkin obsession for the season. In the weeks since, I’ve had two types of pumpkin ice cream, five varieties of pumpkin ale, and about a dozen pumpkin nut cookies.
For the glass, I used a pumpkin cake. I had intended to use “real” pumpkin out of a can, but apparently there have been some issues with the pumpkin crop this season, and there was a run on pumpkin at the stores. I was able to buy “easy” pumpkin pie in a can however, so I improvised. I used the pumpkin, a yellow cake mix, eggs and pumpkin pie spice. For the filling, I made a cream cheese and coffee liqueur frosting. The combination of the pumpkin cake and coffee frosting made for terrific homage to the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I am quite certain this will not be the last pumpkin themed Shotible of the season.
