Ingredients

Brown Sugar Vanilla Simple Syrup (make in advance)

Cold Brew

  • 8 ounces cold brew coffee
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar vanilla syrup recipe above, or store-bought vanilla syrup

Pumpkin Cold Foam

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk whole or 2%
  • 1 tablespoon pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar vanilla syrup recipe above, or store-bought vanilla syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the brown sugar vanilla simple syrup by adding the water, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a medium saucepan and stirring with a wooden spoon. Heat the syrup over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and allow the syrup to cool completely.
  • Make the pumpkin cold foam by adding the cream, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to a tall glass or automatic milk frother. Froth the mixture in the glass with a handheld milk frother or in the automatic milk frother until thick and foamy. Alternatively, you can whisk the pumpkin cold foam vigorously in a bowl until thickened or shake vigorously in a tightly sealed mason jar.
  • Pour the cold brew in a glass over ice, add the vanilla syrup, and stir the coffee with a long spoon. Pour the pumpkin cold foam over the coffee and sprinkle more pumpkin pie spice on top.

Notes

  • This recipe makes one large glass or two small glasses of pumpkin cream cold brew
  • Make pumpkin cream cold brew vegan by using almond milk instead of milk and cream. This is the only plant-based milk alternative I have tested although I've read that full-fat coconut milk works great as well. Almond milk will not froth up quite as much as dairy but is still a good plant-based alternative.
  • Store pumpkin cream cold foam (before frothing) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can pour about ¼ to ½ cup of cold foam base into a glass or bowl and froth with a handheld milk frother or whisk for individual servings.
