Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream very cold
  • 2 tablespoons milk whole milk preferred
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Additional pumpkin pie spice for garnish
  • Optional: Caramel sauce for garnish

Equipment

  • Small bowl or measuring cup
  • Milk frother (handheld, immersion, or countertop)
  • whisk
  • Spoon or ladle for serving

Method
 

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk Briefly: Use a whisk to gently combine all the ingredients before frothing. This prevents the pumpkin puree from clumping.
  3. Froth the Mixture: Use your milk frother to froth the mixture until it's thick, creamy, and holds soft peaks. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the cold foam. If needed, add more powdered sugar for sweetness or pumpkin pie spice for a stronger flavor.
  5. Pour and Enjoy: Gently spoon or pour the pumpkin cold foam over your favorite iced coffee, hot latte, hot chocolate, or other fall treat.
  6. Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice or drizzle caramel sauce on top for an extra touch.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your heavy cream is very cold. Avoid over-frothing to prevent a stiff, dry foam. The cold foam is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You may need to re-froth it before serving. For variations, try maple syrup instead of powdered sugar or add a tablespoon of pumpkin cream cheese for a cheesecake-like flavor. Vegan option: substitute full-fat coconut milk for the heavy cream.
