Ingredients

Pumpkin Cold Foam

2 oz heavy whipping cream (¼ C)
3 oz 2% milk (¼ C + 2 Tbsp)
2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 teaspoon pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

ice
cold brew coffee
pumpkin cold foam

Instructions

Pumpkin Cold Foam

Add all ingredients to a jar or small bowl and whisk to combine.
Froth the pumpkin cream with either a handheld milk frother or an electric milk frother on the cold setting until a firm foam texture has been created.*

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Select a serving glass and fill it about ⅔ full with ice and then cold brew coffee.
Generously spoon pumpkin cold foam on top. Sprinkle a dash of extra pumpkin pie spice on top if desired.
Sip and enjoy!

Notes

*If you do not have a handheld milk frother or electric milk frother, you can use a blender to make your cold foam. Please note, I've found this method to just be ok. You can also technically whisk your pumpkin cream mixture by hand into foam, but that would take quite some time.

*Recipe variations and substitutions:

Change the spice profile: Add more or less pumpkin spice to your liking. You could also just use ground cinnamon if preferred!
Use vanilla syrup in place of the vanilla extract and maple syrup. If you have vanilla simple syrup in your fridge you use it in the cold foam if you'd like! Swap 1-for-1 with the maple syrup quantity, taste it, and adjust as desired.
Make it dairy free / vegan: If dairy is not part of your diet, replace the milk and heavy cream with the non-dairy milk of your choice. I recommend using oat milk for this option as I've had pretty good success frothing oat milk for hot coffees and believe the creaminess would work well in this pumpkin cold foam recipe.
