A cozy and easy-to-make creamy pumpkin cream cold brew with a lightly spiced, velvety pumpkin foam topping that perfectly complements the bold cold brew coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee concentrate or ready-made cold brew
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground ginger
  • Tiny pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: full-fat coconut milk (chilled) for dairy-free version

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew: If making your own, steep ½ cup (50 g) coarsely ground coffee beans in 2 cups (480 ml) cold water overnight in the fridge. Strain and store. Otherwise, measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew concentrate or ready-made cold brew coffee.
  2. Mix the Pumpkin Foam Base: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch each of nutmeg and ginger, plus a tiny pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to combine evenly.
  3. Froth the Pumpkin Cream: Using a milk frother or electric mixer, whip the mixture for 30 to 45 seconds until thickened and airy but still pourable, holding soft peaks. Adjust whipping time to achieve desired texture.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass or mug with 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew over ice. Slowly spoon or pour the pumpkin cream foam over the top to float on the surface.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best frothing results. Do not over-whip the foam; stop at soft peaks. Prepare pumpkin foam base the night before and refrigerate to save time. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk. Store pumpkin foam in airtight container up to 2 days and cold brew up to 1 week separately.
