Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strong cold brew coffee, chilled
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • For the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam:
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Assembly:
  • Extra pumpkin pie spice for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, milk, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
  2. Use an electric hand mixer or a milk frother to whip the mixture until it becomes thick, light, and holds soft peaks. This is your creamy cold foam.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the chilled cold brew coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the foam.
  5. Gently spoon the prepared pumpkin cream cold foam over the top of the cold brew.
  6. Garnish the foam lightly with a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade coffee shop treat.

Notes

  • For a thicker foam, chill your cream and milk before whipping.
  • If you do not have an electric mixer, you can vigorously whisk the ingredients by hand, but it will take longer to achieve the right texture.
  • Adjust the powdered sugar to match your preferred sweetness level.
