Ingredients
Scale
For the Pumpkin Cream
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1–2 tbsp vanilla syrup (can substitute with maple syrup or simple syrup)
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
For the Cold Brew Coffee
- 2 cups cold brew coffee (store bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup (optional, for sweetening the cold brew)
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Cream (Blender method): Add the heavy whipping cream, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender and blend for 30 seconds until smooth and frothy.
- Serve with Cold Brew: Divide the cold brew coffee into two ice-filled cups. Add vanilla syrup to taste if you prefer your drink sweeter. Top each cup with half of the pumpkin cream. Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice over each and enjoy immediately.
- Prepare Pumpkin Cream (Hand Held Frother method): Combine the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a tall glass. Froth vigorously using a handheld frother for 30-40 seconds until creamy and slightly thickened.
- Serve with Cold Brew (Frother method): Pour cold brew coffee over ice in two cups. Add vanilla syrup to sweeten as desired. Spoon the frothy pumpkin cream on top, sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice, and serve.
- Prepare Pumpkin Cream (Jar with Lid method): Place heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
- Serve with Cold Brew (Jar method): Distribute cold brew coffee over ice into two glasses, sweeten with vanilla syrup if desired, top with the shaken pumpkin cream, sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice, and serve cold.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of vanilla syrup or substituting with maple syrup or simple syrup.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk respectively.
- The pumpkin pie spice can be adjusted or replaced with cinnamon if desired.
- For best flavor, use freshly brewed or high-quality store-bought cold brew coffee.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture before it settles.
