Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cold milk (whole milk works best, but 2% or oat milk are great too)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or cold brew
- Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)
- Optional: a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Brew your coffee or prepare your cold brew. If using hot coffee, let it cool for a few minutes so it doesn’t melt your ice too quickly.
- Fill your glass with ice cubes, about 3/4 full.
- Pour the coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the cold foam.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine the cold milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk briefly to break up the pumpkin puree.
- Froth the mixture using a handheld frother for 30-45 seconds until thick and creamy.
- Spoon the cold foam gently over the top of your coffee to keep the layers distinct.
- Optional: sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For best results, use very cold milk and whole milk for thick foam. Don’t over-froth—stop at 45 seconds. If pumpkin puree is clumpy, press it through a strainer before adding to milk. The unfrothed mixture can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
