A quick and easy homemade pumpkin cream cold foam coffee that tastes like a fancy coffee shop drink but is made in minutes with simple ingredients. Perfect for fall mornings, this recipe delivers a creamy, spiced, and sweet cold foam topping over strong coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee (dark roast or cold brew), cooled slightly
  • Ice (a handful, if serving cold)

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee: Start with 1 cup of strong coffee. Use a dark roast brewed double-strength so the coffee flavor holds up against the sweet, creamy foam. Let it cool for a minute or two while you make the foam. If making iced coffee, let it cool completely or use cold brew.
  2. Combine the foam ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, add 1/4 cup cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Make sure the cream is very cold.
  3. Froth until thick: Using a handheld frother, blend the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. The consistency should be similar to melted soft-serve ice cream. Do not over-froth.
  4. Fill your glass with ice: If making iced coffee, fill a tall glass with ice cubes. For hot coffee, skip this step and use a warm mug instead.
  5. Pour the coffee: Pour your brewed coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the foam.
  6. Spoon the foam on top: Gently spoon the pumpkin cream cold foam over the back of a spoon onto the coffee to help it float on top.
  7. Finish with a sprinkle: Dust the top with a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
  8. Serve immediately: Cold foam is best enjoyed right away. Give it a gentle stir if you want the foam to mix in, or drink it through the foam for a layered flavor experience.

Notes

Make sure the cream is very cold for best results. Do not over-froth or the mixture will turn into butter. Serve immediately as the foam deflates after about 10 minutes. For dairy-free, use full-fat coconut cream and oat milk. For less sweet, reduce or skip the maple syrup.
