Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vanilla syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- Your favorite coffee, brewed and chilled
Instructions
- Prepare your coffee base: Brew your coffee and let it cool to room temperature, or use cold brew. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the coffee over them, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the foam.
- Combine the foam ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir gently with a spoon to incorporate the pumpkin puree into the cream.
- Froth the mixture: Using a handheld frother, whip the mixture on low speed for about 30 seconds, then increase to high speed for another 30 to 60 seconds, until soft peaks form. The foam should be thick and silky, not stiff or runny.
- Check the consistency: Lift the frother out of the bowl. The foam should slowly drip off the whisk. If too thin, continue frothing for 15 seconds. If too thick, add a teaspoon of cream and stir gently.
- Assemble the drink: Using a spoon, gently dollop the pumpkin cream cold foam on top of the iced coffee. Start from the center and work outward in a circular motion. Do not pour.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for garnish. Insert a straw and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Let the heavy cream sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before frothing for best results. Do not over-froth; soft peaks are ideal. For dairy-free, substitute with full-fat coconut cream. For a lower-calorie option, use half-and-half (foam will be thinner). Leftover foam can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours; re-froth briefly before using.
