Cold coffee gets a soft cap of pumpkin cream, sweetened with maple and scented with cinnamon and vanilla.
The topping is the point of Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew: lightly frothed cream floats above the coffee and slowly drifts through the ice. A little milk keeps it pourable rather than turning it into whipped cream.
Use smooth canned pumpkin puree and ready-to-drink cold brew. Concentrate needs diluting according to its label first, or it can overwhelm the gently spiced foam.
Method
Whisk pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg in a tall measuring jug until smooth.
Add cold heavy cream and whole milk. Froth with a handheld milk frother until thick and foamy but still pourable.
Divide the ice and cold brew coffee between two glasses. Pour the pumpkin cream slowly over each and serve while the foam is airy.
Forkue tips
- Chill the jug first if your kitchen is warm; cold dairy holds small bubbles more readily.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate unfrothed pumpkin cream separately from the coffee for up to 3 days. Shake or whisk smooth, then froth only what you need at serving time.
