We all love the Starbucks pumpkin cold foam. We just do, it’s a fact. There’s nothing better than the sweet, creamy taste of it sinking down into our coffee as we drink it trying to slowly wake up in the morning. It’s just comforting and delightful to our tastebuds. I tried making it once before and it turned out so bad that I had to go online and find what would make it sweeter and allow the pumpkin not to be too overpowering. Alas, after I got a feel for the ingredients I would need, I trial and errored a few concoctions to come up with the perfect combination that tasted as close to the Starbucks cold foam as possible.
What else would I do but to share it with everyone?! After all, it is Thanksgiving and we all need this to be part of our holiday morning.
INSRTUCTIONS:
- Take a small bowl and add all your ingredients to it at once.
- Grab your hand mixer and only insert one beater, then proceed to plug in and mix your ingredients for about a minute until they are completely combined.
- Pour over your coffee and enjoy!
–This recipe makes enough cold foam for two drinks. You can double it to make more if needed! If you prefer a lot of cold foam, it will probably need to be doubled to top more than one coffee equally.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pureé
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp powdered sugar
–A fun trick I learned recently is if you don’t have powdered sugar but have regular white granulated sugar, you can blend the granulated sugar and it will become powdered sugar. Makes perfect sense, but it’s not ever something I realized or thought about. You can also choose to go even lighter on the pumpkin pureé if you would like to mute the taste to even a smaller hint. I already curated it to be a small hint, but if you really don’t care for an obvious taste of pumpkin, I would suggest cutting it down to a half teaspoon and you should be good to go!
MY COFFEE: This coffee is the Good & Gather Toasted Almond and Caramel (you can also get these in Keurig pods) which I refrigerated and the poured over ice with a splash of Torani vanilla syrup and a splash of the Coffee Mate Cinnamon Toast Crunch creamer. Creamer and syrup can be found anywhere, Good & Gather is only at Target.
