Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is a delicious seasonal coffee drink combining smooth cold brew coffee with a rich, spiced pumpkin cream topping. Perfect for autumn mornings or an afternoon treat, this refreshing beverage blends the flavors of pumpkin spice with creamy vanilla and a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients

Cold Brew Coffee

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • Ice cubes

Pumpkin Cream

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
  • Pinch of pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Cold Brew: Prepare your cold brew coffee in advance or use pre-made cold brew concentrate. To make it yourself, steep 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee beans in 4 cups of cold water for 24 hours, then strain the grounds.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick and creamy. For extra frothiness, use a handheld frother or electric mixer.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the prepared cold brew coffee over the ice. Spoon the prepared pumpkin cream gently over the top to create a layered effect.
  4. Top with Spice: Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin spice blend on top of the pumpkin cream for added aroma and flavor. Optionally, swirl the cream into the coffee for a milder taste or leave as is for a dramatic layered presentation.

Notes

  • Adjust the Sweetness: Increase maple syrup or sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink, or reduce it to suit your taste.
  • Vegan Version: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat cream, and use a dairy-free milk alternative for the cold brew.
  • Using Regular Coffee: If cold brew is unavailable, chilled brewed coffee can be used, though cold brew offers a smoother and less acidic flavor.
