✨Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- This recipe is simple. The only thing you need to make is the sweet cream!
- Why drive to a coffee shop when you can easily make this at home?
✏️Ingredient Notes
- Dairy-free heavy whipping cream – Vegan heavy cream is necessary to create the cold foam layer that floats on the iced coffee. My favorite brand to use is Silk.
- Dairy-free milk – Adding a touch of milk helps loosen the texture of the cream so that it won't turn into whipped cream. I like using oat milk, but you can use any milk you prefer.
- Powdered sugar – A touch of sugar adds a hint of sweetness that balances out the coffee's flavor.
- Pumpkin spice – I buy premade pumpkin spice from the store, but you can easily make your spice mix.
- Pumpkin spice syrup – Most pumpkin spice syrups in-store are not vegan-friendly, so I made mine from scratch.
- Cold brew coffee – I usually prepare my cold-brew coffee, but you can also buy it at the grocery store. My preferred brand is Stok.

💭Common Questions
Yes! The recipe makes one serving. You can double it if you’d like. Keep it in the fridge for no more than three days. Whip when ready to use.
Technically, “cold foam” is meant to be paired with iced coffee or cold brew, but I don’t think there is any harm in using it in hot coffee. It’ll likely melt as it touches the heat, but you’ll get a much creamier cup of coffee.
Yes! While cold brew adds a unique flavor profile, you can substitute it for iced brewed coffee.
