This Easy Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam is a quick and delicious homemade version of the popular fall drink. Made with real pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and warm spices, it comes together in under 5 minutes and tastes better than the original.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk, cold
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 8 ounces strong brewed coffee or espresso, hot

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee first. Make a strong cup—about 8 ounces—using your preferred method. The coffee needs to be hot when you add the cold foam.
  2. In a small liquid measuring cup, combine 2 tablespoons heavy cream and 2 tablespoons 2% milk. Both should be straight from the fridge.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice, and a very small pinch of sea salt to the same cup.
  4. Pour everything into your blender and blend on high for 20-30 seconds until thick and silky, similar to melted soft serve.
  5. Pour your hot coffee into your mug, filling it about three-quarters full.
  6. Slowly pour the blended foam over the back of a spoon onto the hot coffee to create a layered effect.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice over the foam.
  8. Serve immediately while the contrast between hot coffee and cold foam is at its peak.

Notes

For the best foam, ensure cream and milk are very cold. Don’t over-blend; stop when it looks like soft serve. If foam is too thin, add more heavy cream; if too thick, add a splash of milk. Leftover foam can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours and re-blended for 5 seconds before using. For dairy-free, use full-fat canned coconut cream and oat milk.
