Ingredients:
For the Pumpkin Cream:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cold Brew:
1 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
Ice cubes
Instructions:
Make the Pumpkin Cream:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
Use a handheld frother or whisk to whip the mixture until it becomes frothy and slightly thickened. It should have a light, airy texture.
Assemble the Drink:
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cold brew coffee over the ice, leaving some room at the top.
Gently pour the pumpkin cream over the cold brew. The cream will naturally float on top, creating a beautiful layered effect.
Serve:
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top for extra flavor.
Serve immediately, and enjoy sipping the cold brew through the creamy pumpkin layer.
Notes:
Adjust the sweetness of the pumpkin cream by adding more or less maple syrup or honey to suit your taste.
If you prefer a stronger pumpkin flavor, add an extra spoonful of pumpkin puree to the cream mixture.
For a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk.
