With September comes my desire for pumpkin spice any and everything. Right now, it’s still warm outside so I found a delicious new recipe to satisfy my fall craving during the last days of summer. These dairy free Pumpkin Spice Latte Frozen Yogurt Cups have the warm spice flavors I enjoy and is complimented by a thin crust of some healthy ingredients like pecans, oats, flax seeds and coconut oil. It’s the perfect sweet/salty, yet healthy combination to usher in fall. It’s kind of like a mini frozen pumpkin pie with a little “latte” kick! Makes twelve 1 3/4-inch diameter cups.
The pumpkin spice flavor is added by using Nature’s Flavors Natural Pumpkin Spice flavor syrup. This flavor syrup has all the delicious pumpkin spice flavors and is 100% vegan and gluten free

How to make frozen yogurt cups
Instructions:
Add all crust ingredients, except coconut oil, to a food processor and process on high until fine crumbs.
Add coconut oil and process for another 20-30 seconds. Mixture should slightly stick together when pressed.
Add a heaping one teaspoonful to each cup of a silicone mold. Use the bottom of a small shot glass to press crust mixture into the bottom and sides mold.
NOTE: You can use a metal muffin pan but be sure to grease with a little coconut oil before adding crust and filling so cups with slide out easily.
Add all filling ingredients to a small bowl and stir until well blended.
Evenly divide filling mixture between cups. Using a spouted measuring cup works best.
Place in freezer for 30 minutes, remove and dust with ground nutmeg and a whole coffee bean, if desired. Place back in freezer and continue freezing for at least 2-3 hours till set.
Unmold and enjoy for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack craving and feel good about this healthy low-calorie snack choice.
These are a creamy bite of pumpkin spice with a sight hint of latte flavor. The crust adds texture to the snack and gives the perfect salty balance for the pumpkin filling.
Can I omit the espresso/coffee?
Yes. You can omit the coffee for just a pumpkin spice flavor without compromising the recipe or texture. (It will actually be slightly creamier.)
How long do frozen yogurt cups stay fresh?
Keep safely frozen for up to 3 months, but best consumed up to 2 months for taste and texture.
Enjoy!
