Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee (hot or iced)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (for the foam)
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for the foam)
  • A dash of cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee. For hot coffee, pour into a mug; for iced coffee, let cool slightly and pour over ice.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the brewed coffee and stir well. Adjust sweetness or spice to taste.
  4. In a separate small bowl or jar, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Use a milk frother to whip for 30-45 seconds until thick and soft peaks form. Do not over-whip.
  5. Gently spoon the cold foam over the prepared coffee. Sprinkle with cinnamon or extra pumpkin pie spice if desired.
  6. Serve immediately. For iced coffee, pour foam over ice and coffee right away.

Notes

For best results, use very cold heavy cream straight from the fridge. Stop whipping as soon as soft peaks form to avoid over-whipping. If making iced coffee, the cold foam stays fluffy longer. For hot coffee, enjoy within 5 minutes before the foam melts.
