ANY ADDITIONS?

Did you know there is a difference between a regular pumpkin and a sweet pumpkin? It’s true!

Sugar pumpkins are smaller and have great flavor for baking and drinks.

Maple Syrup: Add a splash for extra sweetness and a hint of maple flavor.
Vanilla Syrup: Use instead of vanilla extract for a stronger vanilla taste.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: Sprinkle on top for more pumpkin flavor.
Brown Sugar: Mix into the foam for a caramel-like sweetness.
Cinnamon Stick: Use as a stirrer for added spice.
Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop for extra indulgence.
Caramel Drizzle: Add on top for a rich, sweet finish.
Pumpkin Seeds: Sprinkle a few on top for a crunchy garnish.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

If you’re a fan of Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew, you’re in the right place.

When it’s that time of year, this Starbucks copycat recipe will really hit the spot.

Milk: Use almond milk, soy milk, or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
Heavy Cream: Substitute with coconut cream or a non-dairy creamer.
Vanilla Extract: Replace with almond extract for a different flavor.
Pumpkin Puree: Use pumpkin pie filling if you want it sweeter, but reduce added sweeteners.

HOW TO STORE:

Refrigerator: Store any leftover pumpkin cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Give it a good shake before using it again.

Freezer: I do not suggest freezing.

DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:

Use Cold Ingredients: Make sure your coffee and cream mixture are cold for the best results.
Froth the Milk Properly: Use a handheld milk frother or immersion blender to get that perfect frothy texture.
Adjust Sweetness: Add more or less sugar to taste. Everyone has a different sweet tooth!
Use Pure Pumpkin Puree: Avoid pumpkin pie filling for a more natural pumpkin flavor.
Experiment with Spices: Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the foam for an extra flavor boost.
Serve Immediately: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it right after making it.
