What do I need to make Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Sauce?
Sweetened Condensed Milk: is my favorite to use because not only is it the perfect base for this recipe, but it also adds the sweetness that is needed for this flavorful sauce without adding any sugar or simple syrup.
Pumpkin Purée: makes your sauce a smooth and creamy texture. I recommend using real pumpkin puree, not one that has less or more sugar so that your sauce will be the perfect level of sweetness.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: is one of my favorite blends of spices to use in any of my fall recipes. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves are mixed together to give you the perfect warm flavor that screams fall.
Salt: this will help enhance the flavor of your sauce. It pairs well with the sweet flavor of the condensed milk and the warm flavors of the pumpkin spice.
Vanilla Extract: is my secret ingredient in this sauce. Be sure not to use too much extract as it may taste a little alcohol-like since your sauce isn't warmed.
How do I make Starbucks Pumpkin Pie Sauce?
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth and combined.
- Store in a large mason jar in the fridge for up to two weeks
- Use 2-4 tablespoons of this sauce in your coffee or latte to make it into a fall-inspired drink.
Pro Tip: Let your homemade pumpkin syrup sit for a few minutes in the fridge once you've mixed it completely. This will allow all of the flavors to combine together well.
Can I make this sauce dairy-free?
Of course! All you have to do is switch out the condensed milk for dairy-free condensed milk. I don't recommend using milk for this recipe as it will not be sweet enough or the correct texture.
What kinds of drinks can I make using this copycat sauce?
There are many different drinks that you're able to make, and the good thing about making this copycat recipe is that you're able to enjoy your favorite fall drinks all year long.

How do I make Pumpkin Cold Foam?
Do you have extra ingredients? Try making pumpkin cold foam to top any of your favorite cold brews or iced coffee.
All you need is 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream and 3 tablespoons of this pumpkin spice sauce.
Mix them all together using a hand held frother, and you have your very own pumpkin foam!
How do I store leftover pumpkin sauce?
Storing leftover pumpkin spice syrup is super easy. Place your leftovers into a small glass jar or airtight container, like a mason jar, with a lid in the fridge. It will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
I don't recommend freezing this sauce, as the condensed milk and pumpkin may have the wrong consistency when thawed.
