Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cold brew concentrate
- 1 to 1.5 cups ice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- Pumpkin spice dusting (optional)
- Caramel drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers gently for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, powdered sugar, and pumpkin spice. Whip with a handheld frother or blender until light and pourable (soft peaks). Do not over-whip.
- Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the cold brew concentrate, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Slowly pour the pumpkin cream foam over the back of a spoon onto the coffee to create layers.
- Dust the top with extra pumpkin spice and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best results. Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The foam should be light and pourable, not stiff. Syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
