A quick and easy homemade iced coffee topped with a silky, spiced pumpkin cold foam. Made with simple ingredients, this fall-inspired drink is ready in under five minutes and tastes like autumn in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin purée (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (real maple syrup preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla extract preferred)
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Ice (enough to fill a glass)
  • 1 cup cold brew or strong iced coffee

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour 1 cup of cold brew or strong iced coffee over it. Set aside.
  2. In a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon pumpkin purée, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a tiny pinch of salt. Screw the lid on tightly.
  3. Shake the jar vigorously for about 60 seconds, until the mixture thickens and the sound changes from sloshy to muffled. The foam should be thick but still pourable.
  4. Open the lid and check the consistency. If too runny, shake for another 15 seconds. If too stiff, add a splash more milk and shake gently.
  5. Using a spoon, gently layer the cold foam on top of the iced coffee. Do not stir—let it sit on top.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top of the foam.
  7. Serve immediately. Drink within 10-15 minutes for the best texture.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for best results. Do not over-shake or the cream will turn into butter. For a thicker foam, use only heavy cream and skip the milk. Strain pumpkin purée if it is watery. The foam is best fresh and does not store well. For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut cream and oat milk. For a lower sugar version, skip the maple syrup and use sugar-free vanilla syrup.
