    A pin to share the recipe for pumpkin cream cold foam.

    It’s time for a new contender in the “Perfect Fall Coffee” category. Enter: Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Cold Brew! Delicious cold brew coffee combines with an easy homemade cold foam recipe and the flavors of pumpkin spice in this delicious autumn drink!

    A clear glass coffee cup sits on a white marble tray. The cup is full of cold brew and topped with pumpkin cream cold foam. There is another cup behind it to the right and a jar of cold brew coffee to the left.

    Is there anything more perfect than the first signs of pumpkin flavored treats at the beginning of autumn? I think not! And now, thanks to this recipe, you’ll be able to add another one to your list of favorites!

    A hand pours cold brew coffee concentrate from a small white pitcher into a clear glass coffee cup filled with ice.

    Reasons to love this recipe:

    • It’s easy. If you can access a spoon and a whisk, you can make it!
    • It uses real pumpkin! No fake flavorings, chemicals, or additives. Just real pumpkin puree and quality spices!
    • It’s cheaper than the drive thru. An entire batch of cold brew coffee with pumpkin cold foam costs about what three trips to Starbucks would. I’m all about saving that money to buy fall scented candles right now!
    • This recipe starts with my perfect homemade cold brew coffee. Then the homemade cold foam from that same exact recipe is given a dose of real pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to make all your basic girl dreams come true! It’s so easy, you’ll feel like a seasoned Starbucks barista after the first sip.

    What is cold brew coffee?

    If you didn’t know, cold brew coffee is coffee that is brewed with cold water. It is a lengthy, but simple, process that leads to a smoother, less acidic brew that’s perfect over ice (but can also be heated up and served warm!).

    To make cold brew coffee at home

    • Combine ground coffee with water in a 1 ounce to 1 cup ratio (for example: 3 ounces of ground coffee to 3 cups of cold water), stir, and let steep overnight.
    • Then, after at least 12 hours, strain the brew and store in the fridge until ready to use. It's that easy!

    It’s also that much more concentrated than regular coffee. I recommend mixing with a bit of water before drinking. Find a full and in-depth recipe for it right here.

    A flatlay of different sized glass bowls filled with the ingredients for pumpkin cream cold foam. These include: heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice.

    How to make Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam at home

    1. Make the base. Whisk together the whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Tada! This is the base recipe for Starbucks sweet cream.
    2. Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. This is what takes it up an autumnal notch and makes it pumpkin cream!
    3. Whip the cream. In a NutriBullet or Ninja Blender or any other blender you have at home. This turns the pumpkin cream into cold foam!
    Make the sweet cream.
    Add the pumpkin and spices.
    Make the pumpkin cream cold foam.

    From there, it's just a matter of adding this homemade version of pumpkin cream to cold brew coffee and enjoying every delicious sip!

    Storing leftover sweetened condensed milk

    This recipe only calls for ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk. That’s a little less than half of a standard 12 ounce can. Now, the recipe could easily be doubled to accommodate the use of a full can (or the desire to make pumpkin spice iced coffee twice a day for two weeks – no judgement). Or!

    The leftover sweetened condensed milk can be frozen! Yes! Simply pour the leftovers in a freezer-safe container, label it, and freeze for up to six months. It’s important to note: the condensed milk will not freeze totally solid due to the high sugar content, but it is still preserved!

    Now you’re ready to enjoy pumpkin cream cold brew. No Starbucks required!

    Notes

    • The Pumpkin Cream can be mixed into coffee (cold brew or regular) just like regular coffee creamer, if desired. (And if you don't want to futz with a blender!)

      Thanks for an amazing recipe! I was hesitant about throwing in the sweetened condensed milk, as I typically shy away from sweet things, but it helped to enhance the flavours and bring it all together beautifully!
      Does anyone know if you can freeze the mixture?

        Hi Kels,

        I am so glad you enjoy it! And yes, technically you *can* freeze the mixture, what you'll end up with is essentially a no-churn pumpkin spice ice cream lol. I am not sure what it would thaw back into, I don't believe it would be the *exact* same as freshly made, but it would likely be usable though the texture would be a bit different. Hope this helps!

      Just went to Starbucks for the start of PS season and remembered how much I LOVE their PSCF and rushed home to find a copy cat recipe. I stumbled across this one and let me tell you it’s the tits! It isn’t identical BUT it’s just as good if not better! Honestly I found myself just licking the bowl of the mixer after I was finished making it 🙈. Seriously good and easy to make!

      Hi, I have the pumpkin pie filling (which has the spice in it) instead of pumpkin. Does that still work?

      Also, do I store the whipped product in the fridge or before whipping the creamer, and only take it out when im going to make cold foam?

      Reply
      • Amanda Gajdosik says

        January 30, 2023 at 3:19 pm

        Pumpkin Pie Filling will NOT work, as there is more than just pumpkin and spices in it (water, salt, dextrose, etc.) so DO NOT use pumpkin pie filling, only canned pumpkin puree.

        For storage: you store the pumpkin sweet cream in the fridge until ready to turn it into cold foam.

        Hope this helped 🙂

      SO delish! I made one small change because I don’t tolerate sweetened condensed milk, so I omitted that & used 2 tbsp maple syrup instead. It probably made slightly less than the recipe would have had I used the sweetened condensed milk but it was plenty for my husband & I to enjoy 4 coffees! Definitely making this again!!

      I followed the instructions and mine came out to a very liquid consistency rather than a foam?

      • Amanda Gajdosik says

        October 29, 2022 at 1:25 pm

        Hi Marissa,

        My best guess is one of two things:
        1) It wasn't whipped/whisked long enough to become a foam or
        2) It was whipped *too* long and the heavy cream actually re-liquified. This can happen when using high powered blenders link ninjas and nutribullets. Who would have thought?!

        I know those are two different ends of the spectrum when it comes to what could have been the issue, but if you can find the happy medium I bet you'll get the most delicious foam like so many of my readers! Hope this helped 🙂

      I wanted to leave a comment for one to tell you how AMAZING this recipe is! Most Starbucks Copycat recipes are off but this is spot on! Thank you! Also the first time I made it I used a hand mixer and it was liquidy…this time I used my stand mixer on high for a couple of minutes and the consistency is perfect. Thick and creamy!

      I unfortunately tried the Starbucks cold brew pumpkin foam drink and became obsessed so I looked for a recipe I could make at home. This recipe is better than Starbucks! Of course I can give a little or take out a little if anything I want, but I am SO happy with this recipe. Delicious!!

        I had to come back and review this to say that it turned out beyond delicious. I really did have some doubt when other people said it was better than Starbucks, but wow it definitely is. Their cold foam tastes bland compared to this! I would recommend using a blender when making this as it was fast to make and turned out really creamy. Thank you so much for the recipe, this will now be my go to!!

      Mine didn’t thicken at all. Tried manic bullet and vitamin mix and then my hand mixer. I also put my bowl in the freezer just like making whipped cream homemade, still runny like creamer, which was delish just not thick and creamy like the cold foam.

        Hi EP, a few other people have had this issue and apparently, when you use a magic bullet or vitamix or Ninja blender, if you let it go for too long, it can actually overwhip the cold foam and re-liquify it. Who knew?! I agree though - it's delicious no matter what form it's in! 🙂

      After trying a couple of different cold foam recipes, I feel like this one is the closest to the Starbucks cold foam. It's definitely worth the extra trip to the grocery store for the condensed milk. It tastes like fall!

        You absolutely can, Elvia. But! It will make the final product sweeter. Since we're getting our sweetness in this cold foam recipe from condensed milk the addition of more sweet from a vanilla simple syrup will lead to a sweeter end product. Enjoy!

      Do you always dilute your cold brew, if so what do you recommend for the 6:6 mixture once it’s done steeping

      Reply
      • Amanda says

        September 08, 2021 at 7:44 pm

        Hi Amy! Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't - it really depends on how I'm feeling. Not diluting it means the brew is stronger and more intense. If you like a bold, rich coffee and aren't sensitive to caffeine (or if you make decaf cold brew), then you don't *have* to dilute it. But, if you're going to dilute the cold brew add about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of cold water to it before topping with the cold foam. Hope this helped!

        Hi Erica, not for this recipe, no. The sweetened condensed milk provides the sweetness to the sweet cream base and also helps to make the pumpkin cold foam smooth and luxurious. I highly recommend you follow the recipe as written with the listed ingredients - I tested it so many times to perfect it and it's really, truly delicious!

      just made this & it is IDENTICAL to the real thing--with the added satisfaction that i'm saving money! this recipe is perfect! honestly better than the drink corporate chains have--the pumpkin puree is key, i think--it tastes real instead of the artificial "sweet" you get with a lot of PSL drinks.

        I am THRILLED to hear that, Kyrie! I couldn't agree more - using real pumpkin puree is the end all, be all of PSL season! Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy coffee drinking! <3

      Ive made this recipe twice and could not get it to foam, i tried my nespresso frothed and hand whisk. Your pics look so foamy and yummy so im losing my
      Mind over here! Any troubleshooting tips would be great! Im going to try to get it colder and use less to see if it foams that way

        Hi Jessica! I am so sorry that has happened to you! I think you're on the right track with making sure it is cold, cold, COLD. Heavy cream (the base of this recipe) doesn't hold air and thus doesn't foam up if it isn't cold. I recommend storing any leftovers in the fridge (and maybe mixing up the pumpkin cream a night in advance so it has time to chill) and only removing it right before whipping. And actually, I would go the other way in terms of how much you use. Try using 1/2 cup and whisking by hand. It'll take a bit, I'd say about a minute or 90 seconds, but if it's cold enough it should get that thick, fluffy, gorgeously soft top like I have in the photos. I also really love using my ninja blender/nutri-bullet blender to make sure it gets REALLY thick (that is, if I feel like washing those dishes). But that's exactly what Starbucks does, they use a very high-powered blender for a just a few second (like 8 - 10) to make cold foam. I sure hope this helps and don't lose hope!

          Hi Katie - it seems like what people have experienced when they can't get it to foam is that it's actually been over-whipped and the blender re-liquified the foam. Did you use a nutribullet or a similar style blender? If you did, I would suggest blending for less time than you did previously. Alternatively, use a hand frother or a whisk to be able to control the level of foam. I promise this recipe works like a dream and I hope you give it another shot!

      I’m confused by the serving size. It says 1 serving but surely you’re not putting a whole cup of heavy cream in one glass of iced coffee, right? Can you explain?

        August 26, 2021 at 3:35 pm

        Hi Jamie! One serving of the pumpkin cream cold foam is going to be 1/4 - 1/2 cup (depending on how much cold foam you like on top of your coffee!). The leftover cream (that hasn't been whipped into cold foam) can be stored in the fridge for up to one week. I've made sure to adjust the recipe card to reflect your question, thank you! <3

      For some reason mine wasn’t really foam it sank to the bottom. How do I get it to be light enough to lay over the top?

        Hmm...I'm not sure why this happened Jessica. Perhaps it wasn't whipped enough so it sank like a regular coffee creamer? Or maybe you put too much in so the weight of it was more than the coffee and ice could hold. Those would be my two theories as to why. I'm so sorry that happened to you, but my guess is it was still delicious!

        The same thing happened to me. I only put 1/4 cup in. How long do you wisk for?

        It never became foam for me. I blended as well.

          Hi Chelsey! I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you too - I'm going to do some troubleshooting and get back to you. I'm going to try under-whipping and over-whipping the cold foam and see what happens on my end and report back! So far what I can tell from your comment is that perhaps it wasn't cold enough? That's usually the issue that prevents the cream from thickening (just like with making regular whipped cream). I sure hope you'll give the recipe another try as I do think it's the tastiest Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam ever! <3

        You may of had the same problem I did. I had to use my ninja blender because I didn’t have anything smaller. Ended up finding out it’s too powerful and was re-liquifying my mixture. It definitely needs a slower blend. Although my “foam” hasn’t come out right, the flavor is great. Next time I will use my hand mixer to get the fluffy foam.

          I never knew this could be a problem, Cali! How interesting! I've only ever made my cold foam in those small, "bullet" blenders and never the big one. This is MAJOR insight into the issue. Thank you for sharing! I will make sure to note in the post and recipe to not use a large, high powered one!

      Would this recipe work in an isi air whipper?

        Hi Conor, I'm not sure about that as I've never used one. I don't know if it would be light enough for the CO2 to whip it...if that makes sense? Because there's more than just heavy cream in the mixture. I know it works in a blender, with a whisk by hand, and with a handheld milk frother, though! Hope this helps 🙂

      Hello! Do you think this would work with a dairy-free heavy whipping cream alternative?

        December 02, 2020 at 1:40 pm

        Hi Madison! I'm not sure, as I've never tried it. If the dairy free version is reliable in whipping up to beautiful fluffy, thickness, I would imagine so. If you try it, please do let me know how it works out!

      Hi! I made double the batch, how long is it good for in the fridge?

        November 12, 2020 at 9:39 pm

        Hi Evelyn! I've kept it for up to a week in the fridge. The biggest factor is how fresh the heavy cream you're using is. If it's about to expire or has previously been opened for awhile, I wouldn't keep it longer than a few days. But, if it's newly opened and the expiration date is ways away, you should be able to keep it for at least a week!

          Hi Amber, I'm not sure about the use of coconut cream as we don't really do dairy alternatives in our house. You can certainly try it, though the consistency and flavor may not be the same. Please, report back if you do use it and enjoy it.

        This is so good! Made a big batch and have been using it throughout the week. Definitely needs to be made in a blender-tried it in my nespresso frother on the cold setting and it definitely didn’t work nearly as well. As instructed, it’s perfect for these still warm fall days.
