Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Recipe
This velvety topping for cold coffee beverages is like Chocolate Cream Cold Brew. Primarily served on top of iced coffees, this one is a delightful blend of pumpkin flavor, creaminess, and a hint of spices. This frothy concoction not only makes it beautiful but also adds layers of flavor and texture that take your cold or hot coffee experience to the next level.

Love Starbucks pumpkin cream cold foam? Us too. Actually, I ask for sweet cream on all sorts of other drinks too like pineapple refreshers. Makes them taste just like a Dole Whip! Creamy and delicious like whipped cream but even better. A fluffy and pretty way to enjoy and serve your cup of Joe.
Ingredient Notes
- Heavy cream NOT milk is used as the base for the foam, which provides a rich and creamy texture.
- Pumpkin flavored syrup or concentrate can be used, or add actual puree to add that unmistakable flavor to the foam. Actually any extract works like we did with our Chocolate Cold Foam
- A blend of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice and cloves can be added if you like, but just a pinch
- We donโt find a need for added sweetener like sugar or a syrup but if you want yours extra sweet that is another option to add a splash into.
It does have a bit, you can leave out if you wish. That is the best part about making it at home as you can adjust the flavors to your liking quite easily. It is cheaper too of course and this way you can make it everyday if you like.
How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam
- Use a whisk, electric mixer, electric milk frother or regular whisk and some elbow grease to whip the mixture. You want it to reach a thick and frothy consistency like defrosted Cool Whip.
- You want the foam to hold its shape but still be spoonable.
- Once it is ready, spoon it generously over your cold coffee beverage.
- It will float on top, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Sip slowly, letting the flavors of the Pumpkin Cold Foam mingle with the coffee beneath. Each sip is a delightful blend of creamy pumpkin goodness and the rich taste of your coffee.
If you are making this for a crowd you can certainly double or even quadruple the amounts and serve over Chocolate Stout Cold Brew. You do want it to be fresh and used right away though for best results. Other tips you could follow for the optimal result is to refrigerate mason jars so they are cold and ready when you are done.
We make our Coffee Cake with Yellow Cake Mix first so after itโs done it can be served together. For the best results, start with a chilled mixing bowl and whisk. This helps the heavy cream whip up more easily. In the chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, pumpkin and if you want spices, and sweetener too. The exact measurements can vary depending on your taste preferences.
For parties you can decorate those with ribbons around the rim. Another idea is to use jute twine to go around the rim with a wooden tag threaded thru with the persons name on it. We have done that at baby showers.
Cold Foam is kindaโ like another version of Coffee Frosting youโd find on cupcakes. of all flavors has gained immense popularity for several reasons:

Cold foam and whipped cream are both popular toppings for beverages, but they differ in ingredients, texture, and how theyโre used. Cold foam has a light, frothy, and airy texture, similar to the steamed milk foam on top of a latte but served cold. Whipped cream is thick, rich, and dense with a smooth, velvety texture.
How do you make coffee ice cubes?
Use a French press or Keurig to make a pot or a cup for one. Allow it to cool and add coffee ice cubes to get that part really cold (and not diluted). That is another tip to making the best cup of cold brew coffee with cold foam.
