- Brewed coffee: 1 cup of fresh and hot brewed coffee.
- Milk: 1/4 cup of whole milk or low-fat milk.
- Pumpkin Puree: 1/2 cup of homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: 1 tsp of homemade pumpkin spice or store-bought pumpkin spice.
- Brown Sugar: 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, adjust according to your taste preference.
- Vanilla Extract: 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
For the optional toppings and garnishes, you can add whipped cream, caramel sauce, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or chocolate syrup.
To make this recipe vegan, you can use plant-based milk such as coconut milk, almond milk or soy milk, and swap out the regular whipped cream with coconut whipped cream. Also, make sure the pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract are vegan-friendly.
The Recipe How-To
Let’s start by mixing 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Then add 1/2 tsp of ground ginger, 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the mix.
Brewing the Coffee
Brew 1 cup of coffee using any preferred method such as a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine. You may choose to use regular coffee or opt for cold brew coffee. If you prefer cold brew, you can use your favorite brand or make your own.
Creating the Creamy Pumpkin Mixture
To make the creamy pumpkin mixture, combine 1/2 cup low-fat milk or whole milk (use half-and-half for a richer taste), the pumpkin spice mixture we made earlier, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until it comes to a simmer.
Next, add the brewed coffee to the creamy pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined.
Making Foam Topping
To make foam topping, whip together 3/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice until soft peaks form.
If you’re not in the mood for whipped cream foam topping, then the recipe can also be served with frothed milk. Just microwave some milk (preferably whole milk) in a heat-proof jar for about 30-45 seconds and swirl quickly.
Assembling Your Creamy Pumpkin Coffee
Finally, pour your creamy pumpkin coffee into your favorite mug or glass. Add your whipped cream foam to your drink using a spoon or piping bag.
Sprinkle some extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top if you like.
And voila! A perfect Creamy Pumpkin Coffee! Enjoy with some pumpkin pie or coffee cake.

Tips for Perfect Results
To ensure that your creamy pumpkin coffee recipe turns out perfectly every time, here are some tips to follow.
Firstly, it is important to use high-quality ingredients. Make sure that the pumpkin puree you use is fresh and not canned as fresh puree tends to have a stronger and more natural flavor. Additionally, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk for a richer and creamier taste.
When making the pumpkin cream, use a medium heat setting on your stove and stir continuously to avoid scorching the mixture. And if you do not have heavy cream, you can substitute it with half-and-half or whole milk, though the resulting taste may be slightly different.
Another important tip is to brew your coffee to the right intensity. A strong brew of coffee will complement the flavors of pumpkin and spices in the recipe. Consider using cold-brewed coffee as its smooth taste blends well with the creamy pumpkin mixture.
When adding spices to your recipe, make sure not to overdo them. Use just enough cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger as they have strong flavors that could easily overpower your coffee’s taste.
Finally, consider whipping up your own homemade pumpkin spice instead of buying off-the-shelf spice mixtures. Combining freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger will lend greater depth and aroma to your coffee. By following these tips, you’ll end up with a deliciously creamy pumpkin coffee that’ll rival any Starbucks drinks in taste!
FAQ
Good sirs, if thou hath any doubts or queries regarding the recipe and its ingredients, let me answer them with utmost pleasure. Here are some frequently asked questions that will surely help thee in thy quest for the perfect Creamy Pumpkin Coffee Recipe.
What does Starbucks use in pumpkin cream?
Have you tried the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks? It’s a delicious blend of cold brew coffee topped with a frothy pumpkin-flavored cream. To create this tasty topping, Starbucks baristas use a unique blender that combines cream, milk, pumpkin spice sauce made with pumpkin puree, sugar, and condensed skim milk, along with vanilla syrup. The result is a rich and creamy cold foam that perfectly complements the smooth cold brew coffee.
What is in a pumpkin cream latte?
We offer a delicious blend of rich espresso and steamed milk infused with the classic fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.
What’s the difference between pumpkin spice latte and creme?
When you order a Pumpkin Spice Crème at Starbucks, you’ll be treated to a warm, delicious beverage made with steamed milk. Similar to its more caffeinated counterpart, the pumpkin spice latte, the crème version boasts the same quintessential flavors of fall. However, unlike the latte variation, this drink contains no espresso and is perfect for those who enjoy the taste of pumpkin spice but would rather skip the caffeine.
What flavors go well with pumpkin in coffee?
There’s a flavor duo that reigns supreme during fall, and it’s pumpkin and cinnamon. These two flavors blend perfectly together, whether in your baked goods or in your latte. Adding a touch of cinnamon dolce syrup to your pumpkin spice latte will bring out the inherent sweetness and spiciness of the pumpkin spice. Trust me, this is a combination you don’t want to miss.
