A quick and easy homemade pumpkin cold foam latte with just three simple ingredients, delivering a creamy, cozy fall drink without the fuss or price of a coffee shop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup cold milk (whole milk preferred; 2%, oat, or almond milk as alternatives)
  • 2 shots espresso or 2 oz strong brewed coffee concentrate
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey for sweetness
  • Optional: pinch of pumpkin pie spice
  • Optional garnish: cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Brew two shots (about 2 oz) of espresso or strong coffee concentrate and pour into a glass filled halfway with ice.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree with 1/2 cup cold milk. Add 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice if desired.
  3. Froth the pumpkin milk mixture using a milk frother or handheld whisk until it doubles in volume and forms a creamy, airy foam (about 2 minutes). Alternatively, seal the jar and shake vigorously for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the frothy pumpkin cold foam over the iced espresso, allowing the foam to float on top.
  5. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.

Notes

Use cold milk for best foam texture; whole milk or barista blend oat milk froth best. Whisk pumpkin puree smooth before frothing to avoid clumps. Assemble immediately after frothing for best foam hold. Pumpkin pie spice and sweetener are optional to adjust flavor. Pumpkin milk foam can be stored in fridge up to 24 hours and whisked before use. Espresso is best fresh.
