This Homemade Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Coffee is creamy, spiced just right, and has a velvety texture that feels fancy but takes about two minutes to make. It’s the best version of pumpkin coffee you’ll ever make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole milk works best)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled (cold brew concentrate works even better)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee: Start with 1 cup of strong coffee. Let it cool completely if using hot coffee. (Pro tip: Brew it the night before and keep it in the fridge.)
  2. Prepare the pumpkin cream mixture: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Stir gently until well combined.
  3. Froth the mixture: Using a handheld milk frother, blend the mixture for about 20-30 seconds until it thickens and doubles in volume. The foam should be thick enough to hold its shape—think soft peaks.
  4. Fill your glass with ice: Add enough ice cubes to fill your glass about 3/4 full.
  5. Pour the coffee: Slowly pour your chilled coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the foam.
  6. Add the pumpkin cream foam: Gently spoon the frothed pumpkin cream over the top of the coffee. Don’t pour it—spooning helps it stay thick and float.
  7. Optional garnish: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for best foam. Don’t over-froth—stop when soft peaks form. For dairy-free, use full-fat coconut cream and oat milk. For sugar-free, replace maple syrup with sugar-free syrup or stevia. The foam is best used immediately.
