Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for a creamy, airy pumpkin cold foam that adds cozy fall flavors to your iced coffee. Perfect for busy mornings or anytime you want a comforting coffee twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or 2% or oat milk for dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch each of nutmeg and ginger until spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) cold whole milk and add 1-2 teaspoons sugar or maple syrup plus 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine without frothing.
  3. Use an electric milk frother to froth the mixture by moving it slowly up and down for 30-45 seconds until the mixture doubles in volume and forms thick, creamy foam. Alternatively, pulse a blender a few times then blend on medium for about 20 seconds.
  4. Let the foam rest for 30 seconds to thicken slightly.
  5. Fill a glass with ice and 1 cup (240 ml) of brewed iced coffee. Slowly spoon the pumpkin cold foam over the top.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Use cold milk for best frothing results. Avoid using pumpkin pie filling as it contains added sugars and spices. For a richer foam, add 1 tablespoon heavy cream or half-and-half. Vegan version uses unsweetened oat or almond milk and maple syrup. Spoon foam onto coffee immediately after frothing to maintain texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and whisk gently before use.
