Copycat Tim Hortons Pumpkin Spice Iced Capp
Creamy, Spiced, and Refreshing
Tim Hortons’ Pumpkin Spice Iced Capp is a fall staple in Canada. This version captures the smooth frozen texture, balanced pumpkin spice flavour, and creamy finish — all without a special Capp machine.
Ingredients (makes 2 smalls)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
- ½ cup milk (2% for creaminess, but any works)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp pumpkin purée
- 3 tbsp brown sugar (or to taste)
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or ¼ tsp cinnamon + ⅛ tsp nutmeg + pinch of ginger & clove)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups ice
Optional topping:
- Whipped cream + drizzle of pumpkin spice syrup or caramel
Instructions
- Make the pumpkin mix
- In a small bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla.
- Blend
- In a blender, add chilled coffee, milk, cream, ice, and pumpkin mix.
- Blend until smooth and frosty, about 30–45 seconds.
- Serve
- Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with pumpkin spice syrup or caramel if desired.Tips & Velvet Fork Twist
- Frozen texture trick: Use coffee ice cubes instead of plain ice if you want a stronger coffee taste without watering it down.
- Sweetness control: Start with 2 tbsp sugar if you like less sweet, and bump up to 3–4 if you like it closer to Tim’s.
- Make it “medium”: Double the recipe, but keep ice around 3 cups max or it’ll get too watery.
