There are a lot of people who love pumpkin cream. It’s a sweet and flavorful drink that perfectly captures the essence of autumn. Unfortunately, for some people, the sweetness of pumpkin cream is just too much. They find themselves unable to enjoy it because the sugar content is overwhelming.

If you’re in this boat, don’t worry: you’re not alone. There are plenty of people out there who prefer a less-sweet pumpkin cream. Fortunately, there are ways to cut down on the sweetness without sacrificing too much flavor.

First of all, it’s important to understand why pumpkin cream is so sweet. The base of the drink is usually made up of steamed milk, which is naturally sweet. Then, pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg are added to create the signature flavor. Finally, whipped cream is often added on top, which adds even more sweetness.

If you’re looking to cut down on the sweetness, the first step is to ask your barista to use less syrup. Most coffee shops (especially chains like Starbucks) use a pre-made pumpkin syrup that’s loaded with sugar. By asking for less syrup, you can immediately cut down on the sweetness. It’s also a good idea to ask for your drink to be made with nonfat or almond milk, as these are less sweet than regular milk.

Another option is to make your own pumpkin cream at home. This gives you total control over the ingredients and sweetness level. Start by making a pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin (or using canned pumpkin) and blending it until it’s smooth. Mix the puree with your choice of milk (again, nonfat or almond milk will be less sweet), spices, and a sweetener of your choice (like honey or maple syrup). Blend everything together until it’s smooth, then taste and adjust the flavors as needed. You can also skip the whipped cream on top if you’re trying to cut down on sweetness.

If you don’t want to make your own pumpkin cream, you can still ask your barista for some customizations. For example, ask for half the amount of syrup, or ask for only one pump of syrup instead of the usual three or four. You can also ask for less whipped cream, or skip it altogether.

Finally, if you’re really looking to cut down on sweetness, you can try adding some unsweetened cocoa powder to your drink. The bitterness of the cocoa powder will balance out the sweetness of the pumpkin cream, creating a more balanced flavor. You can also try adding a pinch of sea salt, which will enhance the flavors and cut down on sweetness.

Overall, if you’re finding pumpkin cream too sweet for your tastes, there are plenty of ways to make it less sugary. Whether you’re making your own at home or customizing your order at a coffee shop, a few simple tweaks can help you create a drink that’s perfectly balanced and enjoyable to drink. So don’t give up on pumpkin cream just yet – with a little bit of effort, you can create a drink that’s just right for you.
