Can I Use Canned Pumpkin for the Foam?

Absolutely! Canned pumpkin puree works perfectly for this recipe. Just make sure you’re using 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. The latter comes sweetened and spiced, which can throw off the balance of flavors in your cold foam.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Cold Foam

Making your own Pumpkin Cold Foam is easier than it sounds. The key is using ingredients that blend smoothly and complement each other without overpowering the coffee underneath.

• Heavy Cream: This is the base that gives the cold foam its thick, luscious body.
• Milk: Thins the cream just enough to make it frothy without losing richness. Use any milk you like.
• Pumpkin Puree: Adds that unmistakable pumpkin flavor. Use pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix.
• Maple Syrup: For sweetness and a touch of warmth. It pairs beautifully with pumpkin.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: The signature blend that brings the flavor of fall—usually cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall depth and aroma of the foam.

How To Make the Pumpkin Cold Foam

Step 1: Mix the Pumpkin Base

In a small bowl or cup, stir together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. This creates a flavorful concentrate that will blend beautifully into your foam.

Step 2: Combine Dairy

In a separate measuring cup or frothing pitcher, add your heavy cream and milk. A 2:1 ratio of cream to milk gives the best froth without it being too heavy.

Step 3: Froth It Up

Add the pumpkin mixture to the dairy. Use a milk frother or an electric hand mixer to whip it until thick and foamy. This should take about 30 seconds. If you don’t have a frother, you can use a blender or a jar with a tight lid and some elbow grease.

Step 4: Serve It

Pour the foam gently over your favorite iced coffee or cold brew. Let it sit for a few seconds to settle, then sip and enjoy. The foam will float on top, slowly infusing your drink with that spiced pumpkin flavor.

How to Serve and Store Pumpkin Cold Foam

This recipe makes enough Pumpkin Cold Foam for 2 to 3 drinks. You can make it fresh each time, or prepare a double batch and store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a quick re-froth before using again. Serve it on top of cold brew, iced coffee, or even an iced chai for a spiced twist.
