Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Cream

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
• 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• Small pinch of salt

For the Cold Brew

• 2 cups cold brew coffee
• Ice cubes
• Extra pumpkin pie spice for topping, optional
• Extra maple syrup or vanilla syrup, optional

How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Step 1: Make the Pumpkin Cream

In a small bowl or jar, add the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a small pinch of salt. Stir well until everything is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 2: Froth the Cream

Use a handheld milk frother to whip the pumpkin mixture for about 30–60 seconds, until it becomes light, creamy, and slightly foamy. If you do not have a frother, shake the mixture in a tightly closed jar or whisk it until fluffy.

Step 3: Prepare the Cold Brew

Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the cold brew coffee. If you like your coffee sweeter, stir in a little maple syrup or vanilla syrup before adding the pumpkin cream.

Step 4: Add the Pumpkin Cream

Slowly spoon the pumpkin cream over the cold brew, allowing it to sit on top. Finish with a small sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, then serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, refreshing Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

Tips and Shortcuts

• Use Ready-Made Cold Brew – Store-bought cold brew makes this recipe much faster. Just pour it over ice and add the pumpkin cream.
• Make the Pumpkin Cream Ahead – Prepare the cream in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir or froth before using.
• Use a Jar Instead of a Frother – If you do not have a milk frother, put the cream mixture in a tightly closed jar and shake it well until it becomes foamy.
• Use Coffee Ice Cubes – Freeze leftover coffee in an ice cube tray and use the cubes instead of regular ice. This keeps the drink from becoming watery.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

This pumpkin cream cold brew is one of my favorite fall drinks to make at home. I love enjoying it in the afternoon with a slice of pumpkin cake or a few homemade cookies, while my husband usually has his with a sweet pastry. The creamy pumpkin flavor and smooth cold brew make it a cozy seasonal treat that feels just as special as a coffee shop drink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular iced coffee instead of cold brew ?

Yes. If you do not have cold brew, use strongly brewed coffee that has been completely chilled before making the drink.

Can I use canned pumpkin ?

Yes. Use pure pumpkin puree for the best flavor. Avoid pumpkin pie filling because it already contains sugar and spices.

Can I make the pumpkin cream without a milk frother ?

Absolutely. You can whisk the mixture by hand or place it in a tightly closed jar and shake it until it becomes light and foamy.

Can I use almond milk ?

Yes. Almond milk can be used and will give the drink a light nutty flavor.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerator Storage

Keep leftover pumpkin cream in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use within a few days and stir or froth before serving.

Freezer Storage

Freezing the pumpkin cream is not recommended because it may separate. You can freeze leftover cold brew in ice cube trays for future iced coffee.
