Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 shots brewed espresso, hot
4 cups hot whole milk

Steps:

  • For the whipped cream: In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the cream and whip until it holds soft peaks. Add the sugar and continue to whip until it holds firm peaks.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump pumpkin seeds for the best flavor and texture.
  • Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pat the pumpkin seeds dry with a paper towel before coating them with the mocha mixture.
  • Use a large bowl to toss the pumpkin seeds in the mocha mixture, ensuring that all the seeds are evenly coated.
  • Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the pumpkin seeds in a preheated oven at 300°F for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
