This easy copycat Starbucks pumpkin cream cold foam recipe is proof that you don’t need a barista or a budget to enjoy a little fall magic. With just a handful of ingredients and five minutes, you can create something that tastes like it came straight from a cozy café.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk, cold
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled (or cold brew concentrate)
  • Ice cubes (or coffee ice cubes)

Instructions

  1. Brew and chill your coffee. If using cold brew, skip this step. For regular iced coffee, brew a strong cup (about 1 cup of water to 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds) and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, or pour over ice immediately.
  2. Combine the cold foam ingredients. In a small jar or bowl, add the cold heavy cream, cold whole milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. If the pumpkin puree is lumpy, mash it with a fork first.
  3. Froth the mixture. If using a jar, screw on the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30 to 45 seconds until thick and doubled in volume. If using a frother, blend for 20 to 30 seconds. If using a whisk, whisk rapidly for about 1 minute until soft peaks form.
  4. Prepare your coffee glass. Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour the chilled coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  5. Layer the cold foam. Using a spoon, gently scoop the pumpkin cream cold foam onto the top of the coffee, starting from the edges and working to the center.
  6. Finish and serve. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For best results, ensure heavy cream and milk are very cold. Do not over-froth; stop when mixture has doubled in volume and looks like thick yogurt. If foam is too runny, chill mixture for 5 minutes and re-froth. Store leftover foam in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 days; re-whisk before using. Do not microwave the foam.
