Make the popular coffee shop Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at home. This easy recipe gives you the rich, spiced pumpkin cream topping for your cold brew coffee, delivering that cozy fall café vibe for less money.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strong cold brew coffee concentrate
  • 1 cup cold water (if using concentrate)
  • 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 (canned)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew Base: If you are using cold brew concentrate, mix it with cold water according to the package directions to achieve your desired strength. Fill two tall glasses halfway with ice. Pour the prepared cold brew coffee over the ice, leaving about two inches of space at the top for the cream.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, milk, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Whip the Cream: Use an electric hand mixer or a handheld milk frother to whip the mixture. Start on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high. Whip until the mixture thickens and forms soft, fluffy peaks. This should take 1 to 3 minutes, depending on your tool. Do not over-whip to the point of stiff peaks.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Gently spoon the homemade pumpkin cream cold foam over the top of the cold brew in each glass.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a small amount of extra pumpkin pie spice over the foam layer. Serve immediately to enjoy your coffee shop style cold brew at home.

Notes

  • For a thicker foam, chill your heavy cream and milk before whipping.
  • You can substitute maple syrup for powdered sugar if you prefer, but adjust the amount to taste.
  • If you do not have a frother, you can vigorously shake the cream mixture in a sealed jar until it thickens slightly.
