This copycat Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew is quick, simple, and uses ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. The pumpkin cream is silky, spiced, and perfectly sweet, while the cold brew provides that bold coffee kick we all crave.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 pinch cinnamon, plus more for garnish
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill a tall glass)

Instructions

  1. Make the pumpkin cream: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of cinnamon. Whisk vigorously until the pumpkin puree is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth (about 30 seconds).
  2. Fill your glass with ice: Add ice cubes to a tall glass (about 6-8 large cubes).
  3. Pour the cold brew: Pour 1 cup of chilled cold brew coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the cream layer.
  4. Layer the pumpkin cream: Slowly pour the pumpkin cream mixture over the back of a spoon held just above the cold brew to help the cream float on top.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon. Stir gently if desired.

Notes

For the best results, ensure both the cold brew and cream mixture are ice-cold so the cream floats properly. Whisk the pumpkin puree until completely smooth to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup. The pumpkin cream can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
