This homemade Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is dairy-free and vegan to satisfy those pumpkin spice cravings anytime of the year! I like to make a batch of this recipe and keep it in the fridge for pumpkin coffee all week long.
Cold brew was usually something I would get at a coffee shop where all the flavored drinks were made with powders and syrups with questionable ingredients and baristas that had no idea what I meant when I asked, “is there dairy in that?”
Then one day the flavored foams for cold brew came into my life…cinnamon almond, cocoa almond….Mmmm. Then came Fall, the best season of all, and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew appeared! Unfortunately, this one was not vegan and could not be made vegan and I sadly ordered a regular cold brew with coconut milk. Bummer!
My discouragement only led me to make the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew myself and make it vegan. All it took was about 5 tries…seriously I messed up so many times for such a simple recipe! Honestly, what brought success was the purchase of a milk frother. I was confident I could foam my milk with the steamer on my espresso machine (too hot) then my Vitamix (nope). Maybe coconut cream was too dense (yes). Well the recipe here works great with a milk frother. I purchased this one, the white one with the unicorn of course (easiest decision of my life).
How do you make dairy-free pumpkin cold brew?
- Get a milk frother if you don’t already have one. It’s also amazing for making matcha lattes, which is irrelevant to this post but I feel like I need to tell you.
- Combine the non-dairy milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla in a cup or mason jar. I like using a mason jar so I can put a lid on it for leftovers and use it for a couple days (re-frothing before use).
- Bust out the cold brew and pour it in a cup, add ice if that’s your thing.
- Froth the milk and pumpkin mixture until foamy. It takes 30-60 seconds depending on how foamy you like it.
- Pour the frothed vegan pumpkin cream over the cold brew, mix if you prefer, and enjoy immediately!
