Is anyone else OBSESSED with the new Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks?   🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️  I’ve already had three this week.  It’s a problem.  But actually, it was all in the name of RESEARCH because as soon as I took my first sip I knew I had to recreate an at home version of pumpkin cream cold brew. 

I actually got a little tired of Pumpkin Spice Lattes a few years ago.  They are usually too sweet for me. But I do like the festive pumpkin spice flavors.  Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is made with smooth cold brew (you can make your own or take a shortcut and buy cold brew concentrate), and a sweetened pumpkin spice cream. You can add as much or as little pumpkin cream as you want.  Plus, as excited as everyone is for fall, it’s still pretty hot, right? So cold brew makes more sense for early fall.

Tips For making Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Home

You can make your own cold brew concentrate – see my guide HERE for how to make cold brew at home! Or you can buy it if you want to take a little shortcut.  Trader Joe’s and Kroger both sell bottles of cold brew concentrate!

After whisking together your pumpkin cream, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids from the pumpkin and spices.

Store your pumpkin cream in the refrigerator in a container with a tightly fitting lid.

When ready to make your Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, froth up your pumpkin cream with a milk frother (I use this one) or a blender.

How to make Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Home

Make a batch of cold brew (see my guide here)  or you can buy bottled cold brew at the grocery store.

Make the Pumpkin Cream:

In a medium saucepan, combine half and half, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice.  Whisk over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is steaming. Do not boil.

Strain through a fine mesh strainer.  Transfer to a clean jar with a lid and store in the fridge.

Optional step: Froth up your pumpkin cream using a  milk frother or blender right before using.

Pour cold brew coffee into a glass filled with ice.  Top with desired amount of pumpkin cream.  Dust with a pinch of pumpkin spice. Enjoy!
