Ingredients
Cold Brew Coffee
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups cold brew coffee, chilled
- Ice cubes
- Additional sweetener, optional
Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 3 tbsp unsweetened hemp milk or low-carb milk alternative
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, use a whisk or electric mixer to whip the heavy cream together with powdered Swerve sweetener and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This creates the base for your pumpkin cream.
- Incorporate Pumpkin Flavors: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice into the whipped cream mixture until they are well combined. Then stir in the unsweetened hemp milk slowly until the cream mixture achieves a thick but pourable consistency.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two highball glasses about two-thirds full with ice cubes to keep the cold brew chilled and refreshing.
- Add Cold Brew Coffee: Pour the cold brew coffee into the glasses over the ice, filling each glass to about an inch and a half from the top, leaving room for the pumpkin cream.
- Top with Pumpkin Cream: Carefully pour the prepared pumpkin cream cold foam over the cold brew in each glass, allowing it to float on top.
- Garnish and Sweeten: Sprinkle additional pumpkin spice over the cream for extra flavor, if desired. For those who prefer a sweeter drink, stir a little additional sweetener into the cold brew before adding the pumpkin cream.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less powdered sweetener or sweetening the cold brew directly.
- Use unsweetened hemp milk or any low-carb milk alternative to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- Ensure cold brew coffee is well chilled to prevent melting the pumpkin cream quickly and to maintain texture.
- This recipe works best served immediately for optimum creaminess and flavor contrast.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with a full-fat coconut cream and use a vegan powdered sweetener.
