Why We Love This Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Recipe:

Ultimate Fall Treat! When it gets cold, I want pumpkin-flavored everything, and drinks like pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin cream cold brew are at the top of the list!

Better Than Starbucks! Skip the long drive-thru line and whip up a fully customized beverage from the comfort of your kitchen instead. It is also way more affordable than a daily trip to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts.

Quick & Easy! Make iced coffee for two in less than 10 minutes with simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions. And do not be intimidated by the pumpkin cold foam. You can make it with any tool you have, including a frother, whisk, blender, or mixer.

What is Cold Brew?

Cold brew is a coffee that is brewed in cold water. It takes longer to make than hot coffee but it tastes less acidic and has a smoother finish. Cold brew coffee has a rich taste without the bitterness of regular iced coffee.

Ingredients you need:

Pumpkin Cold Foam

Heavy whipping cream: You need this for that frothy, airy quality.
Condensed milk: This rich, sweet milk adds flavor and body to the beverage.
Vanilla extract: Vanilla enhances the taste of the pumpkin.
Pumpkin puree: Do not confuse this with pumpkin pie filling. For true pumpkin flavor use pumpkin puree because it is 100% pumpkin with no additives.
Pumpkin pie spice: This spice mix that contains cinnamon and nutmeg is an essential ingredient. It adds a warm, spiced quality to your fall drink.

Cold Brew

Cold Brew Coffee: Use your favorite brand.
Water: This is optional depending on the desired strength.

How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew:

Make Pumpkin Cold Foam

Add the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract into a pitcher or cup and mix it together with a spoon. Now add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.

Use a blender, electric mixer, or whisk and whisk it on high for about 2 minutes, until it turns into a thick pumpkin foam.

Assemble Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Fill two glasses up halfway with ice. Pour one cup of cold brew coffee into each glass.

Top with the pumpkin cream cold foam. Finally, enjoy!

Alternatives and Variations:

Milk: Save some calories and use half and half instead of heavy cream.
No Frother: If you do not have one of the listed equipment listed to make pumpkin cold foam, you can always just shake up the ingredients in a closed mason jar.
Dairy-Free: Skip the heavy cream and condensed milk. Opt for coconut cream or oat milk instead and use a natural sweetener like honey, agave, or maple syrup.

Storing:

Pumpkin cold brew is best enjoyed immediately but if you want to store some for later, try to keep the cold brew and pumpkin cold foam stored separately in airtight jars in the fridge.

Both components will last up to 2 days. The foam may begin to separate in the refrigerator so just shake it up before consuming.
