Description
Pumpkin Cold Foam Cold Brew
Your autumn hug in a glass
Ingredients
-
2 cups cold brew coffee, chilled
-
Ice cubes (or coffee ice cubes to avoid dilution!)
-
½ cup cold milk or half-and-half (whole milk froths well; oat milk for dairy-free)
-
2 tbsp pumpkin purée (pure pumpkin, not pie filling!)
-
1 tbsp maple syrup (or brown sugar syrup)
-
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or homemade blend: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, for dusting
Instructions
-
Prepare your coffee base: Fill two tall glasses about ¾ full with cold brew and ice. (Pro tip: use frozen coffee cubes to keep it strong.)
-
Make the pumpkin foam: In a blender or jar, combine milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Froth or blend for 20-30 seconds until thick and silky, able to ribbon off a spoon. (A handheld milk frother works great too!)
-
Build your drink: Slowly spoon or pour the pumpkin foam over the cold brew, ideally over the back of a spoon for a smooth float.
-
Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle extra pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top.
Serving Suggestions
-
Serve in clear glasses or mason jars to show off the gorgeous layered look.
-
Pair with a buttery croissant or your favorite fall treat.
-
Set up a DIY bar with extra syrups and spices for parties or cozy mornings with friends.
Notes
-
Runny foam? Use colder, higher-fat milk and add 1 tsp powdered sugar to stabilize.
-
Foam sinking? Make sure coffee is very cold and pour foam gently over the back of a spoon.
-
Bland foam? Adjust spices or vanilla; use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
-
Make ahead? Foam is best fresh. Store cold brew and foam ingredients separately; froth just before
