A quick and easy recipe to create a creamy, whipped pumpkin cold foam that elevates your iced coffee with a light, airy texture and warm pumpkin spice flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • Optional: dairy-free milk such as oat or almond milk (can replace heavy cream for a vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes to help the cream whip faster and hold better.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream.
  4. Start whipping on medium speed using an electric mixer until the cream begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Increase to high speed and continue whipping until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes total. The foam should be light but hold gently when lifting the beaters.
  6. Optional: Gently fold in 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder with a spatula for a subtle coffee kick.
  7. Stop whipping and check the texture; the foam should be creamy, fluffy, and thick enough to float on iced coffee but soft enough to spoon or pour.
  8. Serve immediately over iced coffee or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Whisk briefly before serving if stored.

Notes

Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping for best results. Avoid overwhipping to prevent turning the cream into butter. Use fresh pumpkin puree for better flavor. Store foam in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and whisk before serving. Optional espresso powder adds a subtle coffee kick. For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream or thick oat milk, but foam will be less thick.
