Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew (Starbucks Copycat Recipe!)

September 10, 2021 in Coffee, Recipes

Fall + coffee = the best combination! To start off this year’s Fall coffee series, learn how to make the Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew at home.

Let’s make the perfect fall drink – Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Cool mornings are among us and fall colors are on their way. Let’s savor the season! Made with homemade pumpkin sauce, a cold brew base, Starbucks pumpkin cold foam recipe, and plenty of pumpkin pie spice, this fall drink is about to become your favorite (if it’s not already).

Ingredients You Need

Heavy Whipping Cream
2% Milk
Vanilla Syrup (Could also use maple syrup)
Pumpkin Sauce (I made a homemade pumpkin sauce, but you could also use pumpkin puree)
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Cold Brew Coffee (I used Stok cold brew, or you could make it at home with my recipe here).

How to Make Pumpkin Cream:

First off, there are three ways you could make the pumpkin cream: in a jar using a hand frother, in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or small portions and in a Nespresso frother. I am explaining using the 2nd option.

Add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1 tbsp vanilla syrup, 1/4 cup pumpkin sauce, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice to large mixing bowl. Blend on medium/high with hand mixer until it thickens. This took me about 5-10 minutes to get the thickness I wanted.

Making the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew:

Fill a cup with ice, then add your cold brew to your desired level.
Add some pumpkin cream on top and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and enjoy!

I should note…

I believe Starbucks only puts pumpkin pie spice on top and not mixed in with the cream. I didn’t mind it in the cream so the choice is yours!
The measurements that I shared above made enough for 2-3 PCCB’s so I stored the extra pumpkin cream in a mason jar with a lid in the refrigerator.
