A quick and easy homemade cold brew coffee drink with pumpkin cream and salted caramel swirl, perfect for mornings or afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • Ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon milk or cream (to thin caramel)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Extra caramel drizzle (for topping)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (for topping)
  • Dash of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Make the pumpkin cream: In a small bowl, combine pumpkin purée, heavy cream, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or water to thin.
  2. Prepare your glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  3. Add the cold brew: Pour cold brew coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  4. Add the pumpkin cream: Slowly pour the pumpkin cream mixture over the cold brew. Do not stir yet.
  5. Drizzle the caramel: Spoon or drizzle salted caramel sauce over the top. If too thick, warm in microwave for 10-15 seconds or stir in a teaspoon of milk. Swirl gently with a spoon if desired.
  6. Top it off: Add whipped cream, extra caramel drizzle, flaky sea salt, and a dash of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
  7. Stir and enjoy: Give it a gentle stir to combine all layers, or drink as-is for a gradient of flavors.

Notes

For best results, use smooth, low-acid cold brew. Don’t skip the pinch of salt in the pumpkin cream. Warm the caramel slightly for easier drizzling. Chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer.
