This quick pumpkin cream cold foam coffee is a five-minute, coffee-shop-quality drink made with simple ingredients like pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and warm spices. It delivers a thick, stable foam that sits beautifully on iced coffee, perfect for cozy fall mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso (cold brew recommended)
  • Ice (enough to fill a 16-ounce glass three-quarters full)

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee. If using hot coffee, let it cool for a minute or two before adding ice.
  2. In a small bowl or tall jar, combine pumpkin puree, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to break up the pumpkin puree.
  3. Froth the mixture with a handheld frother for 20-30 seconds until thick and pourable (like melted soft serve).
  4. Fill a 16-ounce glass three-quarters full with ice.
  5. Pour the brewed coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Spoon the pumpkin cream foam gently over the coffee, starting from the edges and working to the center.
  7. Dust the top with extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
  8. Serve immediately. Stir if desired for even flavor.

Notes

For best results, use cold milk and let hot coffee cool before adding ice. Do not over-froth; stop when the mixture holds a soft peak. If foam is too runny, add more heavy cream; if too thick, add a splash of milk. The foam stays thick for about 10-15 minutes, so serve immediately. For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut cream and oat milk.
