This Caramel Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew is a cozy, creamy fall coffee treat you can make at home in under 10 minutes. It combines bold cold brew, real pumpkin purée, warm spices, and a sweet caramel finish for the ultimate autumn pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz cold brew coffee, chilled
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream (whole, oat, almond, or coconut milk)
  • 12 tbsp caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Ice, as needed
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. If making homemade cold brew: Combine 1 cup coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups cold, filtered water in a pitcher or French press. Stir, cover, and steep in the fridge for 12-18 hours. Strain and chill.
  2. In a blender or milk frother, combine 1/2 cup milk or cream, 2 tbsp pumpkin purée, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tbsp caramel sauce (plus maple syrup or brown sugar if using). Blend until smooth and lightly frothy.
  3. Fill a 16 oz glass with ice.
  4. Pour 12 oz cold brew coffee over the ice.
  5. Slowly pour the pumpkin spice cream over the cold brew for a layered effect.
  6. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top.
  7. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
  8. Stir gently before drinking for a swirled look and blended flavor.

Notes

For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk and dairy-free caramel sauce. Adjust sweetness to taste by starting with less caramel or syrup. Make the pumpkin spice cream ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a hot version, gently warm the pumpkin spice cream and pour over hot coffee. Use fresh spices for best flavor.
