Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- ¼ cup (60 g) pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar (or maple syrup/honey as alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- In a chilled mixing bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream with ¼ cup (60 g) pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the pumpkin cream mixture on medium-high speed for about 3-5 minutes until soft peaks form and the mixture is light and fluffy. Stop whipping before it turns into butter.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee over the ice. Add a splash of milk or sweetener if desired and stir gently.
- Spoon the whipped pumpkin cream generously over the cold brew coffee.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for garnish and serve immediately.
Notes
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping the cream for better volume. Stop whipping as soon as soft peaks form to avoid turning the cream into butter. Use unsweetened pumpkin puree to control sugar levels. Prepare pumpkin cream topping fresh for best texture or store covered in fridge up to 24 hours and whisk before serving. Variations include swapping brown sugar with maple syrup or honey, adding spices like ginger or cardamom, or using cocoa powder for mocha flavor.
