how to make Iced Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Latte
Ingredients :
- ¾ cup chilled strong coffee or cold brew
- ⅓ cup cold milk or dairy-free milk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin purée
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon + nutmeg combo)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
Directions :
- Brew Your Coffee: Fill your glass or jar with ice, then pour in strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate. Leave room for the foam.
- Whip the Pumpkin Cream Foam: In a separate container, combine cold milk, pumpkin purée, sweetener, vanilla, and spice mix. Whisk vigorously by hand (about 30 seconds) or use a small handheld frother until foamy and thick enough to hold its shape. A French press can also be used by pumping the foam.
- Assemble Your Drink: Slowly spoon the pumpkin cold foam over your iced coffee, allowing it to float gently on top.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Dust with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Sip from the bottom up for a perfect mix of coffee and creamy pumpkin foam.

Serve your Iced Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Latte in a tall glass, ideally with clear sides to showcase the beautiful layers of coffee and foam. You can add a straw for easy sipping or enjoy it straight from the glass.
how to store Iced Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Latte
It’s best to enjoy your Iced Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Latte fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store the coffee in the fridge for up to 2 days. The pumpkin foam is best made fresh, but you can keep any extra foam in the fridge for a few hours. Just give it a quick whisk before using it again.
