Instructions

COLD BREW

If you are interested in making your own cold brew, see instructions for how to do that in my How To Cold Brew Coffee tutorial. Please be aware you need 24 hours to brew it.
½ cup (120mL) cold brew coffee concentrate, ½ cup (120mL) water, ½ Tablespoon (8 mL) maple syrup
If you want to start with pre-made cold brew concentrate, dilute it to your preference. You will want 1 cup (8 ounces) total.
If you want to start with ready-to-drink cold brew, you will want to start with 1 cup (8 ounces) of that.

PUMPKIN COLD FOAM

Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Cover and chill³ until ready to use.
3 Tablespoons (45mL) heavy whipping cream, 2 Tablespoons (30mL) milk, ½ Tablespoon pumpkin purée1, ½ to 1 Tablespoon (8-15mL) maple syrup2, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Right before you make your pumpkin cold foam, prepare a large mug or cup with your cold brew coffee. Add the maple syrup and stir. Add ice, if desired.
Add the pumpkin cold foam mixture to the frother or blender, then whip until billowy. Pour pumpkin cold foam over prepared coffee, then sprinkle with additional pumpkin spice, if desired. Pumpkin cream cold foam does not hold up well in the refrigerator, though it doesn't change the flavor or safety of consumption. Store leftovers covered, and re-whip or whisk as needed.

Notes

Pumpkin: I always measure pumpkin purée with measuring cups as the moisture content can wildly change the weight measurements, depending on the brand.
Maple syrup: this is based on your sweetness preference.
Chill the cold foam ingredients: if you use a milk frother that chills the foam for you, this step is unnecessary. If your frother does not chill for you, it will only take about 20-25 minutes for your cold foam ingredients to be chilled.
