Print Recipe

A quick and easy copycat recipe for Starbucks’ pumpkin cream cold foam, made with simple ingredients like heavy cream, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. Perfect for fall mornings, this silky, spiced foam turns any iced coffee into a seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew or strong iced coffee

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons whole milk, and ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Whisk vigorously until smooth and no lumps remain, about 20-30 seconds.
  2. Add ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine without aerating.
  3. Using a handheld frother, place the whisk tip just below the surface and froth for 30-45 seconds until the mixture doubles in volume and forms soft peaks. Alternatively, use a French press by pumping the plunger vigorously for 30 seconds.
  4. Check consistency: foam should be thick and creamy like soft whipped cream. If too runny, froth another 10-15 seconds; if too stiff, add a teaspoon of milk and fold gently.
  5. Fill a glass with ice and pour in 1 cup of cold brew or strong iced coffee, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Using a spoon, gently dollop the cold foam on top of the coffee, starting from the center and working outward to create an even cap.
  7. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For best results, keep heavy cream cold and chill the bowl before frothing. Do not overdo pumpkin puree—stick to 1 tablespoon to avoid grainy foam. Use a deep container to prevent splashing. Serve immediately as foam will start to separate after a few minutes. For dairy-free, substitute with full-fat coconut cream and oat milk.
