Ingredients
Scale
Cream Mixture
- 1 can chilled full-fat coconut milk, or ½ cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 to 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, plus more for sprinkling
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Coffee
- 12 ounces cold brew coffee
Instructions
- Prepare Coconut Cream: Remove the can of coconut milk from the refrigerator and open it. The cream will have separated from the liquid inside. Discard the liquid and scoop out the firm coconut cream into the bowl of an electric mixer. If using coconut cream instead of canned coconut milk, simply scoop the entire content as it does not separate.
- Mix Pumpkin Cream: Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), and freshly grated nutmeg to the coconut cream in the mixer bowl.
- Whip Mixture: Beat the mixture on medium speed until it is softly whipped and slightly thickened, fluffy in texture. Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices as desired by adding more sugar, nutmeg, allspice, or cloves to your preference.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass with ice and pour 12 ounces of cold brew coffee over it. Optional: add syrup, honey, or sugar to sweeten the cold brew if desired.
- Top and Serve: Spoon several large dollops of the pumpkin coconut cream on top of the iced cold brew. Sprinkle a pinch of extra cinnamon over the cream for garnish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Always use full-fat canned coconut milk to achieve the proper cream separation and richness.
- The pumpkin coconut cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
- You can customize the spice level by adding more or less cinnamon, nutmeg, or incorporating allspice or cloves.
- Sweeten the cold brew coffee to your preference before adding the cream topping.
- Be sure to chill the coconut milk and cold brew coffee well before preparing this drink.
