Receta Pumpkin Spice Latte Fudge
Pumpkin Spice Latte Fudge
Based on my social media feeds, it appears as though pumpkin spice lattes have a serious cult following. I’ve never been a coffee drinker, so there are really only two types of coffee drinks that I get excited about – mocha frappuccinos and over-sweetened iced coffees. Outside of those, I don’t do much coffee drinking at all, unless I have a cup in front of me for the sole purpose of dunking biscotti.
So while I don’t get excited to drink pumpkin spice lattes, last fall I became obsessed with baking with those same flavors, thanks to the uber popular pumpkin spice latte cupcakes. I’ve made a basic pumpkin fudge before, but wanted to revisit that combination of pumpkin, coffee and spices, and I was thrilled with how these turned out!
This fudge is one of the easiest and most foolproof that I’ve made to date. Stir most of the ingredients together, let it boil, then remove it from the heat and stir in the marshmallows and white chocolate to melt. I haven’t found another recipe that beats it in terms of simplicity.
If you spend the last days of summer pining for a pumpkin spice latte, this fudge is going to be right up your alley. It would make a great addition to a Halloween party or a Thanksgiving dessert table!
