Ingredients
Scale
Cold Foam
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or whole milk for a lighter version)
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving
- Ice (for your iced coffee)
- Iced coffee or cold brew (store-bought or homemade)
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the pumpkin cream foam: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Use a hand frother or blender to froth the mixture until smooth, creamy, and light foam forms.
- Prepare your iced coffee: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour your iced coffee or cold brew over the ice, filling the glass to your desired level.
- Assemble the drink: Spoon the pumpkin cream cold foam gently over the iced coffee, allowing the foam to float on top. Optionally, you can stir the foam into the coffee for a blended, creamy drink.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top of the foam for extra flavor and visual appeal, then serve immediately to enjoy a refreshing, fall-inspired coffee treat.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to ensure the right texture and flavor without added sugars or spices.
- For a lighter version, substitute whole milk for the heavy cream, though the foam may be less stable.
- Adjust the sweetness by using more or less maple syrup or substitute with your preferred sweetener.
- To keep the foam stable longer, chill the cream and pumpkin mixture before frothing.
- This cold foam pairs best with iced coffee or cold brew, but it can be used as a topping for hot coffee if desired.
