- 1 cup cold brew coffee - ½ cup heavy cream - 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree - 1 tablespoon maple syrup - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract - ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice - Ice cubes - Optional toppings (whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice) To make a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, you need simple ingredients. Cold brew coffee forms the base. I prefer to use smooth and rich cold brew. You can make it at home or buy it ready-made. Next, heavy cream makes the drink creamy and rich. I recommend using fresh cream for the best flavor. Pumpkin puree adds that classic fall taste. Look for pure pumpkin, not pie filling. Maple syrup gives just the right sweetness. It pairs well with the pumpkin flavors. Vanilla extract adds depth to the drink. Use pure vanilla for the best taste. Pumpkin pie spice brings warmth and a hint of spice. It completes this drink's flavor. Don’t forget the ice cubes! They keep your drink cold and refreshing. For a special touch, you can add whipped cream on top and sprinkle more pumpkin pie spice for garnish. These ingredients come together to create a delightful drink. Enjoy each sip as you savor the flavors of fall. 1. In a mixing bowl, combine: - ½ cup heavy cream - 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree - 1 tablespoon maple syrup - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract - ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice This mix creates a rich, creamy base. 2. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to whip the mixture. Aim for a slightly thick texture. It should still pour easily. 3. Be careful not to overwhip. If you do, it will turn into butter. Stop as soon as you see soft peaks forming. 1. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. This keeps your drink cold and refreshing. 2. Pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee over the ice. Watch how the coffee swirls with the ice. 3. Gently spoon the pumpkin cream mixture on top of the cold brew. Let it float or swirl for a pretty look. 1. Dust a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top of the cream. This adds a nice aroma and flavor. 2. If you want, add a dollop of whipped cream. This makes the drink even more indulgent. 3. Serve your drink right away. Enjoy this fall-inspired treat! You can make this drink your own with easy changes. First, adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup. If you like it sweeter, add an extra half tablespoon. If you prefer less sweetness, cut back to one teaspoon. Next, explore different spices for flavor. Try nutmeg or cinnamon for a warm twist. You can also mix in some ginger for a spicy kick. For a lighter option, swap heavy cream for almond milk or coconut cream. These alternatives still taste great but cut down on calories and fat. Avoid overwhipping the cream. If you whip too long, it can turn into butter. Aim for a slightly thick, pourable texture. Be careful with pumpkin puree. Using too much can make the drink too thick. Stick to the recipe's measurement for the best balance. Lastly, pay attention to layering. Pour the cold brew first, then gently spoon the pumpkin cream on top. This makes the drink look pretty and taste great. {{image_2}} You can switch up your cold brew coffee for a fun twist. Try using different types of cold brew. You can use dark roast for a richer flavor. Light roast gives a mild taste. If you prefer a caffeine-free option, explore decaf cold brew. It still gives you the smooth flavor without the buzz. Want to kick your drink up a notch? Add flavored syrups! Caramel and chocolate syrups mix well with pumpkin. They bring out the sweet taste. You can also add spices like nutmeg or cinnamon. These spices add warmth and depth to your drink. Don’t just stop at pumpkin! You can modify this drink for other seasons. In winter, try a peppermint version. Just swap pumpkin puree with peppermint extract. For fall, use apple or sweet potato puree. Each option gives a unique taste that fits the season. You can store leftover pumpkin cream in an airtight container. It lasts about three days in the fridge. Make sure to keep it sealed tightly. You can use this cream in other recipes, too. Try it on pancakes or in oatmeal for a tasty twist. Leftover cold brew coffee should go in the fridge. Use a sealed container to keep it fresh. It stays good for up to one week. To maintain the flavor, avoid letting it sit out at room temperature. Heavy cream lasts about a week after opening. Always check the date on the package. Pumpkin puree can last in the fridge for a week too. To use pumpkin puree efficiently, consider making extra pumpkin cream and store it for later. You can also freeze leftover puree for up to three months. To make this drink vegan, swap out some ingredients. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. You can also use maple syrup, as it is vegan-friendly. For the coffee, any non-dairy milk works well. Almond or oat milk are popular choices. They will keep the creamy texture while adding their own flavor. Yes, you can use store-bought cold brew. Look for brands that have a strong coffee flavor and no added sugars. A few good options include Stumptown, Califia Farms, and Starbucks. Make sure to check the label for ingredients. To make it hot, brew regular coffee instead of cold brew. Then, follow the same steps to prepare the pumpkin cream. For iced versions, make sure to chill your coffee first. Ice cubes help keep the drink cold without watering it down.
