A tall clear glass filled with a two-layer drink: the bottom layer is dark brown iced coffee with visible streaks running down inside the glass, and the top layer is a thick, creamy, light tan foam that almost fills the glass to the rim. A clear straw is placed in the foam layer, leaning slightly to the right. The glass sits on a round wooden coaster, placed on a light wooden surface. In the background, there are two pumpkins, one orange and one white, both out of focus. The overall setting has warm tones and a cozy feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee
  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or vanilla syrup)
  • ⅛ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Ice, as needed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Stir together the cold brew coffee and 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Step 2: In a mason jar or tall glass, add the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a milk frother to whip the mixture until it’s light, fluffy, and well combined, about 10 to 20 seconds.
  3. Step 3: Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the sweetened cold brew coffee over the ice.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the pumpkin-flavored cold foam on top of the coffee. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Use vanilla syrup in place of maple syrup for a sweeter, classic flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk.
  • If you don’t have a milk frother, shake the pumpkin cream mixture vigorously in a sealed jar until frothy.

Storage

Prepare this drink fresh for the best texture and flavor. If you have leftover pumpkin cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently whisk before using again. The cold brew coffee can be stored separately in the fridge for up to a week.

How to Serve

The image shows a clear glass filled with a creamy layered drink. The bottom layer is a smooth, light brown liquid, making up most of the glass. On top, there is a thick, foamy layer that is a lighter cream color with tiny brown specks, adding texture. A clear straw is placed inside the drink on the right side. The glass sits on a round wooden coaster, and a blurred second glass with the same drink is visible in the background. The whole scene is set against a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of cold brew?

Yes, but cold brew provides a smoother, less acidic base that pairs better with the creamy pumpkin foam. If using hot brewed coffee, let it chill before assembling the drink.

How do I make vanilla syrup at home?

Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, heat until sugar dissolves, then stir in a splash of vanilla extract once cooled.
