Keto Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

This keto Starbucks copycat recipes features delicious sugar free pumpkin spice cold foam poured over delicious cold brew coffee. It’s the perfect fall refreshment!

Okay, confession. I had never even heard of these Starbucks Cream Cold Brew drinks until a few weeks ago.

Truth be told, I hadn’t been on the inside of a Starbucks in several years until last weekend. I really prefer to make fancy coffee drinks at home these days and I swear my Keto Caramel Frappuccino is better than theirs. It’s certainly much better for you!

But I happened upon a video of someone making a sugary Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and I was intrigued. I love pumpkin spice season and of course I had to give it a keto makeover.

All those pumpkin spice coffee lovers are going to be glad I did!

What is Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew?

This refreshing coffee drink is a relatively new offering from Starbucks, with a vanilla cold brew coffee base and a foamy, creamy pumpkin spice topping.

The original is made with sugar, cream, condensed milk, pumpkin puree, spices, and vanilla syrup. They call this concoction “pumpkin cream cold foam”, and it floats above the iced coffee.

Sounds pretty tasty, right? Well it also contains a number of additives like carrageenan and other additives, and comes in at a hefty 31g of carbs.

Ketofied pumpkin cream cold brew

For my version, I contemplated making some keto sugar free condensed milk. But in the end I decided against it, as I felt it was an unnecessary step.

I wanted to make something that was so easy, it could be whipped up in 5 minutes flat. In essence, I wanted something that was just as easy as ordering it from your local coffee shop.

So I skipped that and opted for whipping some heavy cream to create a rich foam, and then folded in some pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and a little hemp milk to thin it out.

Then I filled a glass with ice and cold brew, and floated the cream on top. Lo and behold, a Keto Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew!

Ingredients for this recipe

You will need:

• Whipping cream. This acts as the base of the foam, giving it lightness and allowing it to float over the coffee.
• Sweetener of choice. I do recommend a powdered or liquid sweetener to avoid grittiness.
• Vanilla extract. This always adds flavor to pumpkin spice recipes.
• Pumpkin puree. Hey, it’s a pumpkin spice recipe after all!
• Pumpkin pie spice. This is really just a mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
• Hemp or nut milk. I used this to thin out the mixture so it was pourable.
• Cold brew coffee. Feel free to use decaf if you don’t want the caffeine.

Tips for keto pumpkin cream cold brew

This is a super simple recipe that results in a rich and creamy coffee drink. Here are my best tips for getting it right:

1. Whip the cream to stiff peaks. This provided the structure for your pumpkin cold foam, as it would be too thin if you simply added the cream in liquid form.
2. Fold in the pumpkin and spices. You don’t want to totally deflate your whipped cream so fold the puree and spices in gently.
3. Thin out with low carb milk. The foamy pumpkin spice topping should end up thick but still pourable.
4. Fill a glass with ice. Go only about two third of the way up so you have room for the coffee and the foam.
5. Add the cold brew. Again, be sure to leave room for the foam! If your glass is too full, it makes a fine old mess when you try to stir it all together.
6. Sweeten to taste. I am not a sweet coffee drinker for the most part so I didn’t sweeten my cold brew. But the original does include syrup so you may want to add some sweetener if you prefer sweeter drinks.
7. Pour on the foam and enjoy!

Try using coconut whipped cream in place of the whipped cream. I am sure it will be delicious!
