Tasty! My kids were really excited to drink this. It's smooth and tastes like a blended slice of pumpkin pie! One thing I noticed- my cinnamon didn't mix in very well, since I just added it to the saucepan. Next time, I will mix the cinnamon in with the pumpkin puree first, then add it to the milk.

Great recipe. I am not a big coffee drinker so this is the perfect way to feed my Pumpkin latte addiction without having to have coffee. I did add a small amount of nutmeg. The taste was totally delicious. I topped with whipped cream and toffee sauce YUM!!!

This is pretty delicious! We served it at pumpkin carving party and people compared it a Mexican drink called Horchata. Great drink for the fall!

After reading reviews I knew this was going to be thick which I wasnt too crazy about, but the flavor was amazing. I think next tim Ill add coffee for myself. I recommend some whipped cream on top!

Loved this! This is really great to make for a large group - those who prefer it without coffee can drink it as-is, and you can have some strong coffee for others to add as they wish (very good that way). Instead of straight-up cinnamon I used the same amount of a cinnamon + spice blend that included ginger and clove, and it was very good. I love that it uses real pumpkin - definitely healthier than the coffee house version of this drink! EDITED TO ADD: The second time I made it, I used a blender to avoid the bottom of the pot being 'thick'. This worked REALLY well. Throw it in cold (before adding sugar), then heat on stove and add sugar. You could also blend it hot, particularly if you have an immersion hand mixer (which I do not). This made a HUGE difference in the texture.

It wasn't my favorite. I wouldn't call it a latte but for kids it is fine.

Mmmm. Made half the recipe using skim milk and Splenda. Makes a nice after dinner/before bedtime sweet treat. Might add coffee to the other half tomorrow morning. ***Added instant espresso powder to it the next day and really enjoyed it that way too.

Cooked it slowly, over medium heat then whisked it continuously and didn't have a problem with it being chunky at all. It was light and frothy. I added decaf coffee to mine, my son had it without, and my husband added coffee and kahlua to his, all yummy.

We enjoyed this as a special treat instead of hot chocolate. I fixed this according to recipe except for adding a dash of nutmeg and ground cloves. I poured the hot mixture in a mug over a scoop of coffee ice cream, topped with whipped cream and sprinkling of cinnamon. Next time I may add a cinnamon stick for presentation. It was great! Thanks RR for coming up with this recipe. I had fun with it.
