A cozy and festive pumpkin spice cold brew coffee topped with rich black cocoa whipped cream, perfect for Halloween and autumn mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) cold brew coffee, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned, no added spices)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons black cocoa powder (Dutch-processed)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. In a mixing glass or jar, combine 1 1/2 cups chilled cold brew coffee with 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Whisk if needed to remove clumps.
  2. Fill your serving glass with ice cubes to your preference.
  3. Slowly pour the pumpkin spice cold brew mixture over the ice, leaving space at the top for whipped cream.
  4. Chill mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Pour 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl, add 2 tablespoons black cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Spoon or pipe the black cocoa whipped cream generously over the cold brew.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or chocolate shavings on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep cream, bowl, and beaters cold for best whipped cream texture. If cold brew tastes bitter, add a splash of milk or more maple syrup. Whip black cocoa cream up to 24 hours ahead and store refrigerated. Use regular cocoa powder if black cocoa is unavailable (lighter color and flavor). For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream and powdered sugar with coconut sugar.
