Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup oat milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- Cold brew or strong coffee (for serving)
Instructions
- Chill your ingredients and tools. Put your heavy cream, oat milk, and even your jar in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before starting.
- Mix the pumpkin base. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
- Add the liquids. Pour ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup oat milk, and 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup into your jar. Add the pumpkin mixture.
- Shake vigorously. Screw the lid on tight and shake for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. You’re looking for the mixture to double in volume and become thick and frothy.
- Check the texture. Open the jar and look at the foam. It should be light and airy, with small bubbles. If it’s still runny, shake for another 20 seconds.
- Prepare your coffee. Fill a glass with ice and pour in your cold brew or strong coffee, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top.
- Pour the cold foam. Slowly spoon or pour the cold foam over the back of a spoon onto the coffee. This helps it float on top instead of sinking.
- Finish and serve. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for looks. Serve immediately, preferably with a straw so you can drink the foam and coffee together.
Notes
Cold ingredients are non-negotiable for best foam. Don’t over-shake or foam can break. Pour foam over back of a spoon to keep it floating. Serve immediately as foam deflates after about 5 minutes. Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The unshaken mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
