Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee. Set aside.
- In a blender or bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) milk, 2 tablespoons (30 g) pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water.
- Blend or froth the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes until it doubles in volume and becomes thick and airy, holding peaks but still pourable.
- Slowly spoon or pour the pumpkin spice cold foam over the iced coffee, creating a generous layer that floats on top.
- Lightly dust a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately. Stir gently before sipping to combine or enjoy the foam first, then the coffee beneath.
Notes
Use cold ingredients for better foam. Avoid over-blending to keep foam airy. Cold water helps lighten thick pumpkin puree. Fresh foam is best served immediately as it loses fluffiness after 10 minutes. For dairy-free, use almond, oat, or coconut milk. Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or stevia for less sweetness.
