    Inspired by the Starbucks version, this Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is so easy to make at home! With iced coffee topped with a delicious pumpkin cream, it is the perfect drink on a fall morning.

    As soon as September hits, I am in full-on fall mode. 

    I'm talking autumn candles, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin everything. And that includes my caffeinated beverages.

    Last year, I became obsessed with the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks, and I could not get enough. But, after buying far too many of them at Starbucks, I decided to create my own version at home, and it does not disappoint.

    Lightly spiced and oh-so-pumpkiny, this homemade Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is my favorite drink for fall. Plus, it's even made with non-dairy milk, so everyone can enjoy it.

    I hope you'll give it a try!

    Helpful Tools for Making This Cold Brew

    To make this pumpkin cream cold brew, there are a few tools I recommend picking up:

    • Milk frother – A good milk frother is pretty essential for this recipe. You can either use an electric one like this or opt for a handheld one instead. Whether I'm frothing milk for coffee or for my favorite matcha latte recipe, I use mine almost every day. 
    • Unsweetened cold brew — For this recipe, you can always brew your cold brew at home. But, if you're lazy like me, I highly recommend the Stok version. I love the flavor, and I can usually find it at my local grocery store. 
    • Mason jar cups — Okay, these are not necessarily *essential* for this recipe, but they are pretty fun. Plus, these have lids so you can easily take your drink on the go!

    Common Questions About This Cold Brew

    Can I prepare the pumpkin cream ahead of time?

    Since you are frothing the ingredients together, I find that this recipe is best served immediately. It doesn't take very long to whip up, though! 

    I don't have pumpkin pie spice at home. Is there a substitute I can use?

    If you don't have any pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can substitute in a pinch each of ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg.

    Can I substitute in a different kind of milk instead of oat milk?

    I personally find that oat milk froths the best out of any non-dairy milk, so I prefer to use it for this recipe. However, you could try preparing the recipe with nonfat milk or heavy cream—if you do give either one of these a try, let me know how it turns out.

    Description

     Inspired by the Starbucks version, this Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is so easy to make at home! With iced coffee topped with a delicious pumpkin cream, it is the perfect drink on a fall morning.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup cold brew coffee/iced coffee
    • ½ cup oat milk
    • 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin/pumpkin puree 
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar 
    • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

    Instructions

    1. Prepare your cold brew/iced coffee: Measure out your cold brew or iced coffee in a glass and set aside. I always like to pour mine over lots of ice.
    2. Make the pumpkin cream: In a milk frother, combine the oat milk, canned pumpkin/pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Froth everything together for a minute or two until foamy and thick.
    3. Assemble the drink: Pour the pumpkin cream over your prepared ice coffee, then serve immediately. I like to sprinkle a bit more pumpkin pie spice on top before serving!
