A quick and easy homemade version of Starbucks’ creamy pumpkin cream cold brew, perfect for fall with a smooth, flavorful pumpkin cream topping and bold cold brew coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong cold brew concentrate or brewed coffee, chilled
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) pumpkin puree, canned or homemade
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, cold (or half-and-half or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon (0.3 grams) ground nutmeg
  • A pinch of ground clove (optional)
  • A tiny pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your heavy cream (or substitute) and cold brew coffee well (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree; whisk or blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, clove (if using), and a pinch of sea salt until uniformly spiced and sweetened.
  4. Slowly add the heavy cream to the pumpkin mixture while whisking; whip until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Avoid over-whipping.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee over ice in a serving glass.
  6. Spoon or gently pour the pumpkin cream over the cold brew to float on top, creating a layered look.
  7. Serve immediately or stir gently before drinking.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for best whipping results. Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Pumpkin cream can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours; whisk before serving. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream and cream cheese with coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese or silken tofu. Adjust sweetness to taste. Avoid over-whipping the cream to prevent grainy texture.
