Easy 5-Minute Pumpkin Cold Foam Iced Coffee - featured image

A quick and easy iced coffee topped with a thick, pillowy pumpkin cold foam made with real pumpkin puree. This budget-friendly, customizable drink comes together in just five minutes and tastes like a fancy coffee shop creation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cold heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • Ice cubes
  • 12 tablespoons milk or cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, jar, or blender cup, combine the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir together with a spoon first to break up the pumpkin.
  2. Froth the mixture using a handheld milk frother for 30-45 seconds, a blender on high for 20-30 seconds, or by shaking in a sealed jar for about 60 seconds, until thick and holds soft peaks.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. If using, add a splash of milk or cream over the ice.
  4. Pour the cold or room-temperature strong coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  5. Spoon or pour the pumpkin cold foam gently over the back of a spoon onto the coffee to help it float.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For best results, use cold heavy cream straight from the fridge. If the foam is too thin, froth longer or ensure the cream is cold. If it separates, you may have over-frothed it. The foam can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; re-froth briefly before using. For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut cream. For a hot version, skip the ice and pour foam over hot coffee.
