Description
Create a healthy, homemade pumpkin cream cold foam that mimics the popular coffee shop version. This recipe uses wholesome ingredients for a guilt-free, flavorful fall treat, perfect for topping cold brew or lattes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (unsweetened almond, oat, skim, or cashew)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or preferred sweetener (stevia, monk fruit)
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon for dusting
- For Cold Brew (optional): 1/2 cup coarsely ground coffee, 2 cups cold water
Instructions
- Make the Cold Brew (skip if using store-bought): Combine coarsely ground coffee with cold water in a jar or French press. Stir gently and cover. Let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. Strain using a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Cold Foam: In a small blender or frother, combine the milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Blend until thick and frothy, about 15 to 20 seconds.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in your cold brew. Gently spoon or pour the pumpkin foam on top. Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon or extra spice for garnish.
Notes
- Use cold milk for the best foam; oat milk froths well.
- Ensure you use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Adjust sweetener to your taste.
- The foam is best served fresh but can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and re-frothed before use.
- Cold brew can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
