This easy pumpkin spice cold foam iced coffee tastes exactly like the Starbucks version, maybe even better. It’s quick, simple, and made with pantry ingredients, saving you money and giving you that cozy café feeling at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee (5 minutes). Make a cup of strong coffee using your preferred method. Let it cool completely, or brew it the night before and keep it in the fridge.
  2. Fill your glass with ice (30 seconds). Grab your tallest glass and fill it almost to the top with ice cubes.
  3. Pour the chilled coffee (10 seconds). Pour your cooled coffee over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
  4. Make the cold foam (1 minute). In a small bowl or narrow jar, combine the cold heavy cream, 2% milk, pumpkin spice syrup, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Use your milk frother to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and frothy, about 20 to 30 seconds.
  5. Check the foam texture (10 seconds). Lift your frother out of the mixture. The foam should form soft peaks that slowly settle. If it’s too runny, froth for another 10 seconds. If it’s too stiff, add a tiny splash of milk and gently stir.
  6. Pour the foam over the coffee (10 seconds). Using a spoon, gently pour the cold foam over the back of the spoon onto the top of your iced coffee.
  7. Garnish and serve (10 seconds). Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice over the foam. Insert a straw, give it a gentle stir if desired, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Make sure your heavy cream is very cold for the best foam. Don’t over-froth or it will turn into butter. Serve immediately for the best texture. For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut cream and oat milk.
