It's officially my favorite time of year! This time of year, summer starts transitioning into Fall. You can feel it in the air! The sun goes down a little sooner and the streets start to get a little quieter at night. Then, Fall begins and that familiar chill in the air returns. It's that chill that has me so excited to celebrate the return of hoodies, Fall activities, and Pumpkin Season!
Even though there are still a few days left of Summer, I have to admit that I've already made up my Fall bucket list. There's just so much that I want to do during the Fall! Here in New Jersey, it seems like my favorite season is never long enough to cram in all of the activities we want to do! So we try to fill our weekends with hiking, pumpkin picking, apple picking, canoeing, and more!
The return of cooler weather also allows me to do so much more baking! What goes better with a freshly baked homemade good during the Fall than a Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte? Now, Starbucks® makes it so much easier to enjoy everyone's favorite Fall beverage with their limited edition Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte K-Cup® pods!
Like most Fall-obsessed girls, I usually count down the days until Starbucks® releases the Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte again. Thankfully, now I won't have to wait in line at Starbucks® to get my Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte fix!
The Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte K-Cup® pods (6 ct) are made in two easy steps. First, add the Pumpkin Spice flavor packet to your mug. Then, insert the coffee pod into your Keurig® and brew. Stir until the flavor packet contents have dissolved and enjoy a creamy Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte at home!
I celebrated the return of Pumpkin Season and the Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte by baking up a Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Braid. This braid will wow your guests at all of your Fall celebrations! Despite its pretty presentation, you'll be surprised how easy it is to make!
Start with a store bought crescent dough sheet. Then, whip up a pumpkin spice cream cheese. Top that with a caramel infused pumpkin puree. Overlap strips of dough until a pretty braid is formed and bake until golden perfection! It's the perfect recipe to pair this Fall with a Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte!

Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Braid
Ingredients
- 1 crescent dough sheet
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp. caramel sauce
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 egg white beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread crescent dough sheet out in the baking sheet so it touches each corner.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar.
- Spread cream cheese mixture down the center of the dough sheet.
- In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Spread the pumpkin mixture on top of the cream cheese.
- With kitchen scissors, cut the ends of the dough up towards the filled center in 1-inch strips.
- Take an end strip and begin overlapping each strip until a braid forms. Tuck in or trim ends.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly brush on the egg wash.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until dough is completely cooked through and golden brown.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
The Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Caffè Latte K-Cup® pods (6 ct) allow you to embrace all of the flavors of the season with real pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I definitely wanted to play off of those flavors to make a recipe that pairs perfectly with this beverage. It's pumpkin spice and everything nice!

My husband JUST told me last night we need more K-Cups! Guess I know what I'm going to get!
Perfect timing! These were really good!
The Fall coffee always has my heart. I have the Starbucks Fall Blend here now but I'm doing the pumpkin next for sure!
I haven't tried the Fall Blend yet! That might be next for me! 😉
OMG yuuuuuum!!! You had me at cream cheese.
The cream cheese was my favorite part!
That sounds sooo amazing.
Thank you!
Omg I need this in my belly!
Right? It's so good!
This looks perfect for a cold fall morning
Yes! It's lovely with a PSL! 🙂
My Keurig died back before we moved and I just replaced it with a small, cheap drip pot. I am so sad about that. I was just complaining to my husband this weekend about how I miss my Keurig and need to get a new one.
I tried going without a Keurig and that didn't last long. If you get to have your Keurig again, definitely try these K-cups. They're so good!
I have these with me at work now! Love them! And I need some of that Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese goodness over here
Aren't they great? I need to get another box because these went to fast! The pumpkin braid wasn't too shabby either! 😉
This sweet treat looks so darn good! I so need to recreate it for my family. #client
