Ingredients List
To make your own Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Cold Brew, you’ll need the following fresh ingredients:
- Cold Brew Coffee: 8 oz. (Store-bought or homemade)
- Heavy Cream: ½ cup (Can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
- Pumpkin Puree: 2 tablespoons (Fresh or canned, just ensure it’s pure pumpkin)
- Pumpkin Spice: 1 teaspoon (You can make your own or use store-bought)
- Maple Syrup: 1 tablespoon (Honey or agave can be used as alternatives)
- Ice: For serving
Timing
The total time to prepare this delightful drink is approximately 15 minutes, which is 50% less time than the average café trip for a similar beverage. Here’s the breakdown:
- Preparation: 10 minutes
- Chilling (if necessary): 5 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Brew Your Coffee
Start by brewing your cold brew coffee according to your preferred method. If you’re new to it, steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours. A 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio is ideal for maximum flavor.
Step 2: Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken, but don’t fully beat it into stiff peaks. Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup. This step creates a wonderfully velvety cold foam.
Step 3: Combine and Chill
Fill a glass with ice and pour over the cold brew coffee. If your coffee is too strong, feel free to dilute it with a little water or milk. Then, add a generous layer of the pumpkin cream cold foam on top.
Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy
Top with an additional sprinkle of pumpkin spice for that extra flair. Grab a straw, mix it in, and enjoy the layers of flavor that will transport you straight to a pumpkin patch!
