1 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp maple syrup
1⁄2 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tbsp Iswari Macaccino Gold

1. Prepare the cream topping by adding the coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla bean paste to a large bowl.
2. Beat the ingredients with a handheld whisk until smooth and transfer to a piping bag.
3. Place the piping bag in the freezer for 15 minutes to help the coconut cream to set whilst you prepare the lattes.
4. Add the pumpkin puree, hemp milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, macaccino gold and almond extract to a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
5. Whisk continuously for a few minutes until the mixture is heated throughout.
