This cozy pumpkin cream cold brew is a quick and easy fall coffee recipe with a silky pumpkin cream topping that floats on bold cold brew. It’s the perfect seasonal treat for autumn mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee concentrate
  • ½ cup milk of choice (whole milk or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon cottage cheese (small-curd, full-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for garnish (optional)
  • Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cold brew base: In a serving glass, combine 1 ½ cups cold brew concentrate, ½ cup milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until the maple syrup is fully dissolved.
  2. Make the pumpkin cream: In a small blender or tall cup, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Fill your glass with ice: Add a generous handful of ice cubes to the cold brew base, filling the glass about ¾ full.
  4. Pour the pumpkin cream over the top: Slowly pour the pumpkin cream mixture over the back of a spoon held just above the cold brew to help it float.
  5. Garnish and serve: Dust the top with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Add whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Notes

For best results, use cold ingredients. If the cream sinks, blend longer or add extra cottage cheese. The pumpkin cream can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut cream and skip the cottage cheese.
