Print Recipe

A quick and easy pumpkin cold foam recipe made with simple ingredients like pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Perfect for topping iced coffee or cold brew for a cozy, coffee-shop-style treat at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup cold milk (whole milk works best, but 2% also works well)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla extract)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup cold brew or strong coffee (dark roast recommended)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)
  • Optional: Extra pumpkin pie spice for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine the cold milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir briefly to break up the pumpkin puree.
  2. Using a handheld milk frother, submerge it in the mixture and froth for 30-45 seconds, moving in slow circles, until thick and frothy. Alternatively, whisk vigorously by hand for 2-3 minutes, or shake in a sealed jar for 30 seconds.
  3. Check the consistency: the foam should be thick enough to hold soft peaks. If too thin, froth for another 15 seconds; if too thick, add a splash more milk and stir gently.
  4. Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the cold brew or strong coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  5. Gently spoon or pour the pumpkin cold foam over the coffee. Do not stir—allow the foam to layer on top.
  6. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra-stable foam, chill the bowl and frother in the freezer for 5 minutes before starting. Use cold milk straight from the refrigerator. Do not over-froth; stop when soft peaks form. If using a blender, avoid it as it incorporates too much air and causes the foam to separate. For a dairy-free version, use oat milk (barista blend) or full-fat coconut milk. Leftover foam can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; re-froth for 10-15 seconds before using.
