A quick and easy homemade fall drink featuring strong coffee topped with a silky, creamy pumpkin cold foam made from real pumpkin puree and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed strong coffee, cooled
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold milk or milk alternative (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg
  • A pinch of ground ginger (optional)
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill the glass

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee using your preferred method. Let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine ½ cup (120 ml) cold milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, and optional pinch of ground ginger.
  3. Use a milk frother or handheld electric frother to blend the mixture until thick and creamy foam forms, about 30 to 60 seconds. If frothing by hand, shake vigorously in a jar for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, leaving room on top for the foam.
  5. Spoon or pour the creamy pumpkin cold foam gently over the iced coffee, letting it float on top.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle a little cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve immediately and stir gently as you sip.

Notes

Use cold milk straight from the fridge for best frothing results. Whole milk creates the creamiest foam, but oat milk is a good dairy-free alternative. Chill coffee before assembling to prevent foam from melting too quickly. If foam is too thin, try using more pumpkin puree or whole milk. Prepare foam fresh for best texture. Store brewed coffee and foam separately if making ahead.
