Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this with hot coffee?
Yes, but the foam is best served cold. If you’re using hot coffee, skip the ice and pour the cold foam directly on top.
Do I need a blender to make the foam?
Not necessarily—a milk frother or handheld whisk can work too, but a blender gives the best texture.
What’s the best pumpkin puree to use?
Use canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling). Libby’s is a reliable choice.
Can I make the pumpkin cream ahead of time?
Absolutely! Make a batch and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just blend or froth as needed.
Is this drink very sweet?
It’s lightly sweet, but you can adjust by using more or less condensed milk or skipping the added syrup.
Can I use regular milk instead of heavy cream?
You could, but it won’t foam as well. Stick with heavy cream or a thicker alternative like half-and-half or coconut cream.
Can I freeze the pumpkin cream?
It’s not recommended—the texture can break when thawed. Best to refrigerate only.
How do I make this drink lower in calories?
Use light cream, reduce the condensed milk, and swap for a sugar-free sweetener or use less foam.
Can I add spices on top?
Yes! A little dusting of cinnamon, nutmeg, or extra pumpkin pie spice adds a nice touch.
What kind of cold brew should I use?
Any store-bought or homemade cold brew works. Choose a medium or dark roast for the best flavor balance.

This Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam Cold Brew is a dreamy blend of creamy fall flavor and energizing cold brew—perfect for crisp mornings or sunny autumn afternoons. Skip the café lines and enjoy a seasonal sip that’s quick, customizable, and totally crave-worthy.
