Cold foam is made of milk and cream and sits on the top of the coffee. It is frothy, delicious and made cold, so it's fantastic on iced coffee and cold brew.

Does Pumpkin Cold Foam have sugar?

Pumpkin cold foam only contains a bit of sugar from the pumpkin puree and it doesn't taste sweet at all. If you want your drink sweet, make sure to flavor the actual coffee or cold brew with a simple syrup like my u003ca href=u0022https://simplymadeeats.com/3751/easy-brown-sugar-simple-syrup/u0022u003eBrown Sugar Simple Syrupu003c/au003e or any of your favorite Fall flavors.

How to Store Cold Foam:

You can double up this recipe and keep it in the fridge for 2 days. I suggest frothing it right before adding to your coffee or cold brew as the texture won't keep well in the fridge.

Cold brew versus iced coffee?

Cold brew generally packs more intense flavor and caffeine levels than iced coffee because the coffee is steeped in cold water for an extended period of time. Then, it is strained. Iced coffee is just regular coffee, cooled and poured over ice.

Instructions

Into a medium sized bowl, add in the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk to combine.
Continue to whisk if you want to whip by hand. Otherwise, transfer into the aeroccino (& use the cold button), or use a frother, to thicken the foam into a texture that resembles ice cream when it begins to melt.
Pour the cold brew or coffee into a glass. Sweeten with simple syrup of your choice if desired.
Pour the pumpkin cold foam over the top of the coffee. Optional: Sprinkle over additional pumpkin pie spice. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you're using the aeroccino or a similar machine, use the cold setting and do not overfill the machine. You will need to work in two batches for the best texture. I usually run mine about 2-3 times each to get it as whipped as possible.
The texture of the foam needs to be thick, like melted ice cream. You're not looking to get to the whipped cream texture.
For sweetening the coffee or cold brew, I suggest using my brown sugar simple syrup. This cold foam is not sweet at all. You will need to sweeten the actual coffee or cold brew.
