- heavy cream
- milk
- vanilla syrup (or vanilla extract + maple syrup)

At Starbucks they use a vanilla syrup but I’ve tested this recipe with both syrup and a combination of vanilla extract and maple syrup, and both work well! Feel free to use what you’ve got.
How to Make Pumpkin Cold Foam
Where to use your cold foam
As mentioned above, this pumpkin cold foam makes an excellent substitute for creamer in cold/iced drinks. I really enjoy serving it over a glass of iced matcha, chai tea, black tea, or cold brew coffee with a dash pumpkin spice seasoning.
Tips for Creamy Smooth Foam, Every Time!
There are a few options for mixing your cold foam for that signature creamy smooth texture.
The trick is to mix it up so everything is evenly combined, but not so much that the heavy cream turns to whipped cream.
To achieve this perfect consistency use:
- a whisk
- a frother
- or shaking everything together in a jar with a fitted lid
Whatever method you choose, just be sure not to over mix!
