This easy copycat Starbucks pumpkin cream cold foam recipe is quick, simple, and tastes like something you’d pay five bucks for at a coffee shop—except you made it yourself in under five minutes. Perfect for fall mornings or impressing guests without any stress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk, cold
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 cup cold brew or iced coffee (for serving)
  • Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Chill your bowl and cream: Pop your mixing bowl and whisk in the fridge for about 10 minutes before you begin.
  2. Combine the base ingredients: In your chilled bowl, add ½ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons whole milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently with a spoon to combine the pumpkin puree into the liquid.
  3. Whisk or froth until thick: Using your whisk or handheld frother, whip the mixture until it becomes thick and frothy (about 2-3 minutes with a whisk, or 30-45 seconds with a frother). Look for a consistency similar to melted ice cream—thick enough to sit on top of your coffee without immediately sinking. Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Prepare your coffee: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 cup of cold brew or chilled iced coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the foam.
  5. Assemble the drink: Gently spoon the pumpkin cream cold foam over the top of the coffee. Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly if needed.
  6. Add a finishing touch: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top of the foam.
  7. Serve immediately: This foam is best enjoyed right away. Give it a gentle stir with a straw if you want to mix the flavors, or sip it through the foam for the full experience.

Notes

Keep everything cold for best results. Don’t overmix or you’ll end up with butter. If foam is too thin, refrigerate for 5 minutes and whisk again. If too thick, add a splash more milk. You can prepare the pumpkin cream mixture (without whipping) up to a day in advance.
