I’m not going to lie— I’m a huge fan of pumpkin spiced everything during the fall, but I also recognize that there’s more to life than the PSL this time of year (barely).
Chai tea is another thing I live for, and thankfully, you can add these mixture of spices to desserts just as easily as pumpkin spice.
So, the next time you’re craving a very fall-like treat, why not try something chai flavored? I promise it won’t disappoint. Besides, once all of this dessert is gone, you can go back to that beloved pumpkin you briefly abandoned, but you might not want to because these are bound to be just as delicious.
