ATTENTION PSL LOVERS: Houston Halloween blogger shares scary good coffee recipe

HOUSTON – For some, it’s the most wonderful time of the year: PSL season! But, have you tried the quarantine craze called dalgona coffee? The trendy caffeinated beverage is a fluffy whipped drink that’s taken the internet by storm. Spooky Little Halloween Founder Miranda Enzor came up with her own unique recipe that brings the best of both worlds together.

“I have to stop and admit, I am not a fan of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the classic Starbucks drink,” said Enzor. “But I’m determined to find a pumpkin coffee I love, and today’s recipe is way up there on the list.”

Dalgona coffee started as a TikTok trend that quickly exploded on social media due to its unique visual impact. The drink is fairly easy to make, calling for equal parts instant coffee, sugar and hot water and then blending with a mixer until it reaches its signature fluffy texture. The coffee whip is then dolloped onto a cup of cold dairy or non-dairy milk of the drinker’s choosing.

“It was different. Instant coffee has a unique taste, but it definitely satisfied the cravings I was having for thick, creamy lattes,” said Enzor. “I fell in love and immediately wondered how I could make a Halloween version.”

And that she did. If you want to try sharpening your barista skills, see Enzor’s full recipe for Pumpkin Whipped Coffee below. It’s sure to be your new fall fave.
