A cozy and refreshing fall drink combining smooth cold brew coffee with a luscious homemade pumpkin cream topping, lightly sweetened and spiced for the perfect autumn indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee concentrate or ready-to-drink cold brew
  • ¼ cup (60 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream, cold
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your cold brew coffee, heavy cream, and milk well.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of sea salt if using.
  3. Whip the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid over-whipping.
  4. Pour 1 cup cold brew coffee into a serving glass or jar.
  5. Add ¼ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative) to the cold brew and stir gently to combine. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
  6. Generously spoon the whipped pumpkin cream over the cold brew mixture so it floats on top.
  7. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for garnish and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

Use cold ingredients to ensure the cream whips properly. Avoid over-whipping the cream to prevent graininess. Freshly ground spices enhance flavor. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and milk with almond or oat milk. Pumpkin pie filling is not recommended due to added sugars and spices. Pumpkin cream can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored refrigerated.
