Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- 2 tablespoons (about 30 grams) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey/agave syrup as alternatives)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the cold brew coffee: If making your own, combine 1 cup (about 85 grams) coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups (960 ml) cold filtered water in a jar or cold brew maker. Steep in fridge for 12-18 hours. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter. Skip if using store-bought.
- Make the pumpkin cream: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Whisk or use an electric mixer on medium speed until thickened and soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. The cream should be airy but pourable.
- Assemble the drink: Fill a serving glass or mason jar with ice cubes to the top. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee over the ice.
- Top with pumpkin cream: Spoon or gently pour the whipped pumpkin cream over the cold brew. The cream will float on top, creating a layered look.
- Serve and enjoy: Stir gently if desired or sip through the creamy layer. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top.
Notes
Whip the pumpkin cream right before serving for best texture. If too thick, add a splash of milk or cream; if too thin, whip a little longer but avoid over-whipping to prevent butter formation. Adjust cold brew strength to taste. Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and maple syrup with a vegan sweetener.
