A quick and easy creamy pumpkin spice cold foam topping that adds a festive flair to your iced coffees and lattes, perfect for Halloween and fall.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (30 g)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended (about 2 minutes).
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the pumpkin spice mixture. Whisk gently until combined (1-2 minutes).
  3. Using a handheld milk frother, froth the liquid for about 30-45 seconds until thick, creamy foam forms. If using a stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed for about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides halfway through.
  4. Check the consistency: the foam should be light, airy, and hold soft peaks when you lift the frother. If too thin, froth a little longer; if too stiff, stir gently to loosen (about 15 seconds).
  5. Spoon or gently pour the creamy pumpkin spice cold foam over your iced coffee or latte. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top.
  6. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. The foam is best enjoyed fresh and should be consumed within 5 minutes.

Notes

Use cold milk and cream for better frothing. Heavy cream adds richness and stabilizes foam. Avoid over-frothing to prevent stiff foam. Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For vegan version, substitute milk and cream with oat milk and coconut cream. Serve foam immediately for best texture. Leftover mixture can be refrigerated up to 24 hours but will not froth as well after.
