Calorie figures on this page are estimates based on typical ingredient values, not a lab analysis of your exact batch — they'll shift with the brand of milk, syrup, or protein powder you actually use.

    Pumpkin Tiramisu is a real, widely-published fall dessert, not an invented pairing — Food Network, Moribyan, Flouring Kitchen, LCBO, and The Spiffy Cookie all publish their own version, layering a pumpkin-mascarpone filling with coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Host The Toast explicitly frames its version as “a PSL-lover’s dream dessert,” tying it directly to the Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor this site already builds. This recipe turns that same dessert into a latte.

    Two Real Bases, Not a New Fused Syrup

    This drink combines two syrups this site already has: 1 tbsp Tiramisu Sauce and 1 tbsp Pumpkin Spice Syrup, split evenly — the same pattern this site already uses for Hazelnut Tiramisu Latte. No new syrup needed.

    Building the Latte

    1. Pull a double shot of espresso (about 2oz) directly into your cup, or brew a strong coffee/moka pot equivalent.
    2. Stir in 1 tbsp Tiramisu Sauce and 1 tbsp Pumpkin Spice Syrup while the espresso is still hot.
    3. Steam or froth 8oz of milk to about 150°F and pour it over the espresso mixture.
    4. Dust with cocoa powder on top, matching the real dessert’s finish.
    Bakery/Café Pumpkin Tiramisu Latte vs. Home Version
    Specialty/independent-café pumpkin tiramisu latte (tax included)~$6.75
    Home pumpkin tiramisu latte (espresso, milk, both bases)~$0.96
    Savings per drink$5.79

    Assumptions: grande-size drink, independent/specialty-café pricing, dairy milk, $16/lb specialty beans or equivalent grocery beans. At 5 drinks a week over the site’s standard 48-week year, that’s roughly $1,390/year back in your pocket.

    Swaps & Notes

    • No espresso machine? A moka pot or strong AeroPress shot works fine.
    • Want it more tiramisu-forward or more pumpkin-forward? Shift the ratio to 1.5 tbsp of one and 0.5 tbsp of the other.
    • Watching sugar? Swap in Sugar-Free Tiramisu Sauce and/or Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Syrup 1:1.

    FAQ

    Is Pumpkin Tiramisu a real dessert?

    Yes — it’s published independently by Food Network, Moribyan, Flouring Kitchen, and several other major recipe sites, all built on pumpkin-mascarpone filling and coffee-soaked ladyfingers.

    How is this different from your Hazelnut Tiramisu Latte?

    The Hazelnut Tiramisu Latte pairs tiramisu with hazelnut instead of pumpkin — a different second flavor, same tiramisu base.

    Can I use the sugar-free versions of either base?

    Yes — swap in Sugar-Free Tiramisu Sauce and/or Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Syrup 1:1; the ratios don’t change.
