Can I make pumpkin cream cold foam without a frother?

Absolutely! While a handheld milk frother gives the fluffiest results, you can totally improvise. Use a French press and pump the plunger up and down for a minute, shake it up in a mason jar with a tight lid, or give it a quick pulse in a blender for 20–30 seconds. All of these work just fine!

How long does homemade pumpkin cream cold foam last?

It’ll keep in the fridge for 2–3 days in an airtight container. It might separate a little, but just give it a good stir or a quick re-froth and it’ll be as good as new.

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

I wouldn’t recommend it. Pumpkin pie filling already has sugar and spices added, so it can throw off the flavor and sweetness of your cold foam. Stick with pure pumpkin puree so you can control the flavor yourself.

Why isn’t my pumpkin cream cold foam foaming properly?

A few things could be going on! First, make sure your cream is cold—warm cream won’t foam well. Also, if you're using a plant-based alternative, go for a barista-style version or coconut cream, which froths much better than regular almond or oat milk.

Is pumpkin cream cold foam suitable for vegans?

It can be! Just swap the dairy for coconut cream or a barista-style oat milk. They both foam up nicely and still give you that rich, creamy texture. Don’t forget to use maple syrup or a vegan-friendly sweetener instead of honey if needed.

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup heavy cream (or half & half for a lighter option)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or vanilla syrup)
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Cold brew or iced coffee of choice
Ice cubes

Instructions

Fill a glass with ice and pour in your cold brew or iced coffee, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top for the foam.
In a tall measuring cup or small bowl, combine heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt.
Using a handheld milk frother (or blender, French press, or mason jar), froth the mixture for 30–45 seconds until light and fluffy with soft peaks.
Gently pour the foam over your iced coffee. Don’t stir—let the foam float and slowly melt in as you sip!
Optional: Top with a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra fall touch.

Notes

No frother? No problem! Use a French press, blender, or shake it in a tightly sealed mason jar. You can prep a bigger batch and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days—just re-froth before using. For a dairy-free version, try chilled coconut cream or barista oat milk.
