A quick and easy pumpkin cream cold foam made with real pumpkin puree and heavy cream, perfect for adding a cozy fall touch to your iced coffee or cold brew.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, full-fat
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) pumpkin puree
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (1224 grams) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) ground cinnamon
  • A pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) ground nutmeg (optional)
  • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your cream and mixing bowl in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before starting.
  2. In the chilled mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Stir gently to mix evenly.
  3. Add granulated sugar (1 to 2 tablespoons) and mix to combine.
  4. Pour in the chilled heavy cream carefully, ensuring the pumpkin puree stays thick enough to whip.
  5. Whip the mixture using a hand mixer or whisk on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until it thickens and holds soft peaks. Stop whipping as soon as it holds shape but is still creamy.
  6. Test the texture: it should be airy and smooth but thick enough to float on iced coffee. If too runny, whip a bit longer; if too stiff, fold in a tablespoon of cream to loosen.
  7. Serve immediately by spooning the pumpkin cream cold foam over iced coffee or cold brew.

Notes

Keep cream and bowl chilled before whipping for best results. Stop whipping at soft peaks to avoid turning the cream grainy or into butter. If making ahead, store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and whisk gently before serving. Use a deep bowl to avoid splatter. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream and sugar with maple syrup or other natural sweeteners.
