Print Recipe

This creamy copycat pumpkin cream cold foam is a quick and easy fall recipe that tastes better than the original Starbucks version. With just five minutes and simple ingredients, you can create a velvety, spiced foam to top your cold brew or iced coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or brown sugar syrup)
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla extract recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee or strong iced coffee
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir gently to combine everything until the mixture looks uniform and slightly orange.
  3. Place a milk frother in the mixture, tilting it slightly so the whisk is submerged but not touching the bottom. Turn it on and move it in slow circles for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is thick and pillowy, roughly doubled in volume.
  4. Set the frothed mixture aside for about 30 seconds to allow the bubbles to settle and the foam to stabilize.
  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cold brew or strong iced coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Using a spoon, gently dollop the pumpkin cream foam onto the top of the cold brew, starting around the edges and working your way to the center.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw. Optionally, sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice on top for garnish.

Notes

For best results, use cold ingredients (heavy cream and milk straight from the fridge) and room-temperature pumpkin puree. Don’t over-froth; stop when the mixture leaves a ribbon trail on the surface. Always dollop the foam with a spoon rather than pouring it to prevent it from sinking. The foam is best served immediately but will stay thick for about 10-15 minutes. For a dairy-free version, substitute full-fat coconut cream and oat milk. For a sugar-free option, use sugar-free vanilla syrup instead of maple syrup.
