DIY Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew: A Starbucks Dupe You Can Make at Home

Crisp and cozy Autumn has officially arrived and we all know the most popular seasonal flavor of anything this time of year is the beloved pumpkin spice.

Even by early August, pumpkin flavored items start popping up on shelves and coffeeshop menus, specifically Starbucks. Our absolute favorite is the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew because the creamy spiced cold foam drips into the cold brew creating the most velvety combination of refreshing iced coffee and cream.

We decided to make our own version of this drink using Bulletproof products, making this an even more enticing and deliciously addicting drink.

Why Make Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Home

Let’s face it, coffee shops are expensive! After learning how easy the recipe is to make at home, your wallet will thank you.

By using Bulletproof Enhanced Cold Brew, this drink not only becomes a delicious treat, but transforms into a healthy, brain-boosting beverage that keeps you feeling your best rather than suffering from a sugary caffeine crash.

Our cold brew has additions like B Vitamins, Lion’s Mane and Coffeeberry®, which can help you focus and give you energy that is long lasting.

Alongside the cold brew, our collagen cold foam is made with Bulletproof Vanilla Collagen Peptides which contain amino acids to support healthy skin, bones and joints.

And by making this at home, you have full control over how much sugar and other additional ingredients are being added, so there is even more opportunity for this health infused beverage to take over your sugary coffee-shop addictions.

Key Ingredients for Your Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

One item that you will need to use is a blender. Pumpkin puree must be whipped with heavy cream of half & half for the foam to have a light and airy texture.

If you don’t feel like whipping out the blender and want a fast and easy fix, you can always use a hand frother, although the foam may not be as thick and fluffy, but it will still be delicious.

Another key ingredient is pumpkin pie spice, as this gives the cold foam its signature pumpkin flavor and notes of warm fall flavors. See the recipe below to learn how to make the spice mix, or you can buy it already mixed from your local store.

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Recipe

This Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew recipe is dangerously delicious, and you may find yourself just spooning it into your mouth (which is certainly okay with us).

The foam is best used over ice coffee or cold brew and can be stored in the fridge for about 5 days. It can also be used as a flavored cream for hot coffee too but may melt and blend in much faster.

If you don’t have the pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice, it can easily be made by combining several different spices you might have in your cupboard. See the formula below.
