Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture, but you can substitute with any milk alternative for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and pumpkin pie spice based on your taste preference for sweetness and spice intensity.
- Microwave heating time may vary depending on wattage; heat until warm but not boiling.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, brew a darker roast or espresso instead of regular coffee.
- Can be made vegan by substituting milk and creamer with plant-based alternatives and using dairy-free whipped cream.
