Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar (dark brown sugar optional)
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix evenly and help dissolve the sugar.
- Using a handheld frother or whisk, froth the mixture until thick foam forms soft peaks. Whisk by hand for 3-5 minutes or with a frother for 1-2 minutes.
- Check the texture; the foam should be creamy, light, and stable. If too runny, continue frothing briefly. Stop if it starts to separate or become buttery.
- Spoon or pour the cold foam over a glass of iced coffee, creating a layered look.
- Enjoy immediately. Optionally, drizzle caramel or sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Notes
Chill mixing bowl and whisk before frothing for better foam. Use cold ingredients. Do not over-froth to avoid buttery texture. Best enjoyed fresh within an hour. For vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and milk with almond or oat milk.
