Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the fun part—just a handful of easily found ingredients come together to create a seriously luxurious cold brew. Each one plays a starring role in building the taste, texture, and iconic color of your m Cold Foam Cold Brew (Copycat Starbucks).

Heavy whipping cream: This is the base for our cloud-like pumpkin cold foam, delivering that signature café creaminess.
Sweetened condensed milk: It adds luscious sweetness and a rich, silky mouthfeel—don’t skip it!
Vanilla extract: A dash brings a smooth, aromatic undertone, just like your barista would.
Pumpkin puree: Real pumpkin for that warm, earthy color and authentic flavor—canned works great, just make sure it’s puree and not pie filling.
Pumpkin pie spice: The magical, fragrant blend that makes every sip taste like autumn.
Cold Brew Coffee: Choose your favorite, homemade or store-bought, for a robust and refreshing base.
Ice: Essential for that icy-cold, super-refreshing finish.
(Optional) Pumpkin spice or vanilla syrup: For those who want a little extra sweetness or a bolder pumpkin punch in their cold brew.

How to Make DIY Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Cold Brew Recipe

Step 1: Make the Pumpkin Cream

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Once they’re fully blended and smooth, add in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Keep whisking until your mixture transforms into a gorgeous, light orange pumpkin cream with a heavenly scent. Cover and chill your pumpkin cream in the fridge until you’re ready to use it—letting it chill helps it whip up beautifully later!

Step 2: Prepare Your Cold Brew Base

Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the 8 ounces of cold brew coffee. If you love your coffee a little sweeter or want an extra hint of spice, now’s the time to add a splash of pumpkin spice or vanilla syrup. Stir gently to mix, then set aside as we get ready for the best part—the foam!

Step 3: Whip Up the Pumpkin Cold Foam

Scoop out about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of your chilled pumpkin cream (depending on how fabulous you like your foam). Add it to a blender, NutriBullet, or even a milk frother. Blitz for just a few seconds until the cream is fluffy and thick—watch as it doubles in size and becomes irresistibly pillowy. That’s your pumpkin cream cold foam, ready to steal the show!

Step 4: Top and Finish Your Drink

Spoon the whipped pumpkin cold foam right over the top of your prepared cold brew. Let the foam cascade and swirl as it settles—this is the part where your drink instantly looks and tastes like a fancy barista-style treat. If desired, add a little sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top for that coffeehouse finish. Grab a straw, give it a gentle swirl, and enjoy!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’ve got extra pumpkin cream, simply store it in a sealed container in the fridge. It will stay fresh and delicious for up to 3 days! Give it a quick stir or shake before using, as the ingredients may separate a bit.

Freezing

While the finished pumpkin cold foam doesn’t freeze well (it can lose its fluffy texture when thawed), you can freeze leftover pumpkin puree or cold brew in ice cube trays for later use in your next batch of m Cold Foam Cold Brew (Copycat Starbucks).

Reheating

Cold brew and cold foam are designed to be enjoyed cold, so reheating isn’t recommended. If you prefer a warm drink, you can try gently warming the pumpkin cream on the stovetop and pouring it over hot coffee for a comforting autumn twist.

FAQs

Is canned pumpkin pie filling the same as pumpkin puree?

Not quite! Pumpkin pie filling has added sugars and spices, which can throw off the flavor balance of your m Cold Foam Cold Brew (Copycat Starbucks). Always use plain pumpkin puree for the best results.

Can I make this without a blender?

Absolutely! A handheld milk frother, small whisk, or even a jar with a tight lid (give it a good shake) will all fluff up your pumpkin cream. It may not get quite as airy as a blender, but it’ll still taste amazing.

How can I make it vegan or dairy-free?

Swap the heavy cream with a plant-based alternative like coconut cream or oat milk, and use sweetened condensed coconut milk. The texture and flavor will still deliver those signature pumpkin spice vibes!

Can I use regular coffee instead of cold brew?

Yes! Brew some strong coffee and let it cool completely (or chill it in the fridge). It won’t be quite as smooth as cold brew, but it’ll still carry all the delicious flavors of m Cold Foam Cold Brew (Copycat Starbucks).

How do I store extra pumpkin pie spice?

Keep your pumpkin pie spice blend in a tightly sealed jar in a cool, dry spot. It’ll lend those autumnal notes to your m Cold Foam Cold Brew (Copycat Starbucks) and all your fall baking for months!
