It’s been 16 years since Starbucks released a new pumpkin coffee beverage, and I’ve gotta say, I’m so glad it is here.  I’ve been over the pumpkin spice latte for some time now, and I’m ready to enjoy the pumpkin cream cold brew. It’s a great way to enjoy the start of fall but not say goodbye to the warm summer days.

How To Make Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam

Once you get the hang of making the pumpkin cream cold foam, you’ll start putting it on everything.  There are two main ways to make cold foam, and both are electric. One is to use a blender, the other is to use a frother.  Don’t worry though, they both work with dairy free alternatives as well.  

My favorite thing to do is to use the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother.  The newest version has a cold cream option, as well as the traditional offerings.  If this price point is a little out of your budget or you’re not sure you’ll use it enough, there are handheld wand frothers available.  They are significantly cheaper, take up less space, and does the trick well enough.

If the blender is the way you want to go, you have to be careful about not heating the milk with the friction from the blades.  In order to get cold cream in a blender, add fresh milk to the blender and blend on high for about 20-30 seconds. You may have to use a spoon to skim the foam off of the top depending on how well frothed it becomes. As a tip, the fresher your milk is, the better it will froth.  Milk that is close to expiring doesn’t make cold foam nearly as well as fresh. It collapses and loses its body really easily.

Tips For Making A Better Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

  • How To Make Cold Brew That Isn’t Bitter.  For some, bitterness is what makes coffee enjoyable, but a well made cold brew is silky and luxurious while lacking an overly bitter profile.
  • Make Your Own Pumpkin Puree.  If you want your pumpkin spice sauce to have the most authentic flavor possible, make a homemade pumpkin puree.  This tutorial takes you through the steps of choosing the right pumpkin, roasting it, and turning it into a perfect puree.
  • Homemade Pumpkin Spice Tastes Better. Before being served, the pumpkin cream cold brew gets a light dusting of pumpkin spice (ginger, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg).  Make your own using this recipe for better control over the quality and flavor of the pumpkin spice topping.

The heavy cream in the cold foam is completely optional. However, it does help give some substance and binding power so it stays foamy longer.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 teaspoons Torani vanilla syrup
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • ice

Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam

  • 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 Tablespoon Torani Pumpkin Pie Spice Sauce
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Stir together the pumpkin pie spice and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  • In the bottom of a glass 16 ounce cup, add in the vanilla syrup and cold brew coffee.  Fill with ice until it is ⅔ full and stir with a spoon.
  • In a blender combine the pumpkin pie sauce with the milk, heavy cream, and pumpkin puree.  Whip until frothy. Scrape the cold foam onto the top of the iced coffee. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice mixture on top of cold foam and serve.

Notes

If you want the vanilla flavor in the coffee but not the sugar, add in one half of a vanilla bean when making the cold brew.  Make sure to cut it down the middle and scrape the vanilla into the jar as well.

  • #ad Doesn't this beautiful maple dijon salmon make you want to dive right in? That's because it was cooked to a perfectly moist and flaky temperature using the integrated sous vide function of the new Souspreme Multi Pot from @fisslerusa. They're the only brand I trust when it comes to pressure cookers, so I knew that this all-around cooking tool had to be part of my kitchen, and that sous vide function feeds my foodie soul (literally!). Head over to the blog to find out how to win one for yourself. That way you can start making this recipe ASAP. It will be your new favorite tool, trust me! (Pssstt...Christmas is right around the corner and it makes a great gift!) . #souspreme https://www.foodabovegold.com/maple-dijon-sous-vide-salmon/ #kitchengadgets #sousvide #sousvidecooking #salmondinner #seafoodie #fissler #freshfish #dinnerisserved #foodielife
  • #ad  I am particularly excited to share this recipe with you guys because it rolls up (haha, get it 🤓) everything about my culinary background. 🔪 This stuffed pork tenderloin has it all; my favorite sweet prunes from @caprunes , salty pancetta, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy hazelnuts.  It gets seared to golden-brown perfection on the stove top, then finished in the oven for a tender and moist entree that is literally bursting with flavor.  All of this gets rounded out with a simple white wine pan sauce to complete the dish. 🍁 If you haven't cooked with prunes before, this recipe is a great introduction.  They pair well with both sweet and savory dishes and bring a depth of flavor to this recipe that makes it phenomenal. 🍽️ The recipe is up now on the blog and I am so excited for you to try it. https://www.foodabovegold.com/stuffed-pork-tenderloin-with-california-prunes/
  • I know that chestnuts are one of those foods that you feel like you have to wait for the holiday season to eat. However, the department stores have decided the holidays are here, so I have too. Plus, if they're already in stores, why wait to eat them? If you've been nervous to try making your own roasted chestnuts, it's actually very easy. The hardest part is removing the shells, and I give you all the best tips and tricks to make it as easy as possible. Get my recipe for oven roasted chestnuts on the blog now and feel autumn fully descend on your home. https://www.foodabovegold.com/how-to-roast-chestnuts/
  • Raise your hand if you've started eating fall foods yet? 🙋 Once the clouds and the rain came in, I was all ready to indulge in the cozy and comforting tastes of autumn. 🍁 That's part of why I love the delicious fall flavors from @WholeFoods. They give me a simple way to indulge in those flavors for every meal.  They seriously have you covered from breakfast to dinner, with snacks, drinks and treats in there too! I'm especially a fan of the pumpkin cardamom sauce.  The cardamom gives it a unique flavor unlike other pumpkin sauces out there.  It doesn't need to be loaded with cheese and shines as it is. Plus, the zucchette pasta is adorable, it looks like little pumpkins. Make sure to pop into your local #WholeFoodsMarket for these limited-time offerings.  They're in stock now and ready to be eaten while curled up in a blanket and a good book. (Or at least that's how I eat them...). Can't make it to a store? Check out the link in my bio, if you are an Amazon Prime member you can have it delivered right to your door (available in select zip codes)! Talk about a time saver!  Look in my stories for a sneak peek into everything in the box. 🎁 Which fall flavor you are most excited about? Pumpkin spice? Caramel apple? Maple? Pear? Tell me in the comments so I can eat it all! 🍐🤤 #Sponsored #WFMFallFlavors #MakesMeWhole
  • #ad Only a few minutes into the game and the Seahawks have already scored! Woohoo! Football season is back and I am so happy because that means the return of tailgating foods. I don't know about you, but when I think of tailgating I usually only think about savory foods. But the desserts are my favorite part. That's why I like to pack along FatBoy super thick ice cream sandwiches and use fun seasonal sprinkles to showcase my favorite team. (Blue and green today!). You can use all kinds of sprinkles to make it fun and even host a "best decorated" contest between your friends. (Winner gets a whole box of @fatboyicecream to themselves?) . It's a such fun way to celebrate tailgating and football season! What teams are you rooting for today? How would you show off your best decorated ice cream sandwich? I want to know! #fatboyicecream #freezepops #fatboycones #fatboytailgating #fatboyfootball
