Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 ml) half-and-half cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
- Cold brew or iced coffee to serve
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Additional maple syrup or powdered sugar for sweetness adjustment (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your half-and-half (or milk) and mixing bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice blend, and a pinch of salt until smooth and spices are evenly distributed.
- Add cold half-and-half, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Gently whisk until combined but not foamy.
- Froth the mixture using a milk frother or handheld electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes until soft peaks form and texture is light and airy. If using a whisk, whisk vigorously for 5-7 minutes.
- Fill a tall glass about ¾ full with cold brew or iced coffee and add ice cubes as desired.
- Spoon the pumpkin spice cold foam over the iced coffee, letting it float on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon if desired.
- Enjoy immediately by sipping through the creamy foam.
Notes
Use cold ingredients and chilled equipment for best froth. Adjust sweetness and spice levels to taste. For dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with canned coconut milk or almond milk creamer and add a pinch of xanthan gum to thicken. Store leftover foam in an airtight container in the fridge up to 48 hours and whisk before reuse. Avoid over-frothing to prevent grainy texture.
