How to Make Pumpkin Cold Foam (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl or jar, add:
- Heavy cream
- Milk
- Pumpkin purée
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
Whisk well until everything is smooth and combined.
Step 2: Froth It Up
Use a milk frother or blender to whip the mixture for 20–30 seconds until it becomes light and foamy. You’re aiming for a thick, cloud-like texture that gently floats atop your drink.
No frother? A mason jar with a tight lid works too—just shake vigorously for 1 minute!
Step 3: Pour & Enjoy
Top your iced coffee, cold brew, or chai with the pumpkin cold foam. Sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for that coffee-shop aesthetic.

Here are a few drinks to top with your pumpkin cold foam:
- Iced Cold Brew – Classic pairing, ultra-refreshing

Variations & Tips
- Dairy-Free? Use oat milk or almond milk + coconut cream for a plant-based version.
- Less Sweet? Skip the syrup or reduce it to 1 tsp.
- Extra Creamy? Use only heavy cream and skip the milk.
- Make Ahead – Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Froth again before use.
