Pumpkin spice

What is pumpkin spice?

Pumpkin spice is a spice blend that originated in the United States as a flavouring for pumpkin pie. Despite the name, the mix does not contain any pumpkin. It typically consists of cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves and flavouring. In terms of taste, this spice blend can be compared to the speculaas spice mix known in the Netherlands. However, the composition differs, as pumpkin spice usually contains fewer ingredients than traditional speculaas spice.

What can you use pumpkin spice for?

Pumpkin spice can be used to flavour a variety of bakes, such as pumpkin pie and the well-known gingerbread biscuits often baked around Christmas. You can also use this spice blend to create ‘pumpkin spice’ versions of brownies, chocolate chip cookies, muffins and cupcakes.

Pumpkin spice latte

In the Netherlands, this spice blend likely became most well known with the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte. Over 20 years ago, Starbucks decided to use the blend to create a special autumn drink, adding pumpkin spice to give it a distinctive seasonal flavour. This led to the creation of the pumpkin spice latte, a drink that remains popular worldwide and is enjoyed by many. Since then, it has become available in various coffee shops.
