Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup cold heavy cream (or dairy-free coconut cream for vegan)
  • 2 tbsp softened cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese alternative)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Cold Foam: In a blender or with an immersion blender, combine 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup cold heavy cream, 2 tbsp softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Blend on high until thick, frothy, and holds soft peaks (about 1-2 minutes). Add a splash of milk if too thick. Chill if needed.
  3. Brew and Cool the Coffee: Brew 1 cup (240 ml) strong coffee or espresso. Let cool to room temperature or chill.
  4. Assemble the Latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cooled coffee, then add 2-3 tbsp brown sugar syrup (adjust sweetness to taste). Gently spoon or pour the pumpkin cold foam over the top to create a creamy layer.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Stir lightly before sipping or enjoy as is. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.

Notes

Chill cream and mixing bowl before whipping for best foam. Use softened cream cheese for smooth texture. Adjust syrup sweetness to taste. Store syrup up to 2 weeks refrigerated; foam best fresh or within 24 hours refrigerated. Warm syrup gently if crystallized.
