Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Coffee – Make your favorite fall drink at home! Cold brew coffee topped with a pumpkin spice sweet cream!
Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee
Have you tried making cold brew coffee yet? I had been hearing about it for months but hadn’t actually given it a try until this past week and I finally get what all of the fuss is about. Cold brew coffee is so awesome and it’s such a refreshing drink for a hot day but I wanted to make my own spin on it for the fall. Immediately, I decided to combine a pumpkin spice latte and cold brew coffee to create the ultimate fall drink for coffee fans!
To make this pumpkin cream cold brew coffee, I combined classic cold brew coffee with a sweet cream made with pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin puree. It gives it such a wonderful, warm pumpkin flavor!

Common questions about making pumpkin cream cold brew coffee
What is pumpkin cream cold brew coffee?
Pumpkin cream cold brew coffee is a simple iced drink recipe made with cold brew coffee that is topped with a homemade pumpkin sweet cream.
Do I have to make pumpkin sweet cream?
This is what gives the drink the pumpkin flavor. A fun variation is using 1 tablespoon of cinnamon dolce simple syrup instead of brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice if you have that on hand.
How do I froth the sweet cream?
If you have a milk frother, I suggest using that but alternatively, a blender, immersion blender, or french press will work. If using a french press, plunge it up and down until it increases in volume. I know, it sounds like it won’t work but it does!
What is cold brew coffee?
Cold brew coffee is brewed with cold water overnight (about 12-15 hours). The coffee grounds are combined with water to brew.
Is cold brew stronger than iced coffee?
Yes, iced coffee is traditionally brewed warm and double the strength of normal coffee before being poured over ice. Cold brew is brewed with cold water which creates a much stronger brew.
