Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold whole milk (or 2% or oat milk for lighter/dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup (can substitute honey or agave)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (2 grams) pumpkin pie spice (or ½ teaspoon cinnamon plus pinch each of nutmeg and ginger)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or large cup, combine 1 cup cold milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir the ingredients together until fully blended and pumpkin is evenly distributed without clumps, about 30 seconds.
- Using a milk frother, blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the foam is thick, creamy, and airy. If using a handheld mixer, whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes. If shaking in a jar, shake hard for 3 to 4 minutes until soft peaks form with a glossy finish.
- Fill a glass with your favorite cold brew or iced coffee, leaving room for the foam on top.
- Spoon or gently pour the pumpkin spice cold foam over the iced coffee, allowing it to float and create a layered effect.
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for garnish.
Notes
Use cold milk straight from the fridge for best foam. Avoid over-frothing to prevent watery foam. Freshly ground spices improve flavor. Store leftover foam in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and whisk before use. For dairy-free, use oat or almond milk and swap maple syrup with agave nectar.
