    Ingredient Notes

    overhead of ingredients
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk: Substitute 1 ¼ cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of granulated sugar. To dissolve the sugar into the cream, heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the sugar. Do not boil. Remove from heat immediately and follow the recipe as instructed. 
    • Pumpkin Puree: This is not the same as pumpkin pie filling. The only ingredient is pumpkin. 
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice: You will find this in the spice & seasoning section at the grocery store. You can also make your own pumpkin pie spice.

    Complete list of ingredients and amounts is located on the recipe card below.

    Helpful Equipment & Tools

    • Hamilton Beach Electric Hand Mixer: Great quality, storage case included, & inexpensive.
    • AmeriColor Gel Paste Food Coloring: My favorite food coloring. A little goes a long way & the hues are true to color.
    • Reusable Glass Drinking Straws: Fun way to spice up your coffee at home. Inexpensive & cleaning brush is included. 

    Instructions

    Overview

    • Make the pumpkin coffee creamer.
    • Pour into the cold brew & enjoy!

    Step by Step

    Step 1: Using a hand mixer, mix the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and food coloring (if using) together until smooth and well incorporated.

    Steps 1 & 2

    Step 2: Fill a glass with ice and cold brew (leave room for the pumpkin cream). Pour the pumpkin cream on top. Stir and add more to taste. Serve immediately with extra pumpkin pie spice on top.

    TIP - Because the sweetened condensed milk is much thicker than milk, the hand mixer will help incorporate the other ingredients well.

    TIP -  Do not combine the pumpkin cream and cold brew until right before serving.

    Make Ahead & Storage

    • Refrigerator: Store the creamer in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
    • Freezer: Freeze the creamer immediately after preparing. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Stored thawed creamer in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Note: Due to the sugar content in sweetened condensed milk, it will not freeze completely. It is still safe to store in the freezer.

    Expert Tips

    • Mix well. Since the sweetened condensed milk is so thick, I recommend using an electric mixer to combine the ingredients. This ensures they are combined and the food coloring disperses. 
    • Do not pour the cream into the cold brew until right before serving. I find it is best to store the cream separate from the cold brew and just combine them right before drinking.

    Recipe Notes

    • Because this recipe is made with sweetened condensed milk, you can’t control the sweetness level of the pumpkin cream. See ingredient notes for how to substitute heavy cream. You can use as much or as little sugar as desired with this method. 

    Variations

    • Dairy free: Substitute the sweetened condensed milk for 1 ¼ cup of good quality oat milk. You can swap the granulated sugar for other sweeteners like maple syrup. Adjust the amount to desired sweetness. 
    • Keto (low carb): Substitute the sweetened condensed milk for heavy cream like the ingredient note above mentions. Instead of granulated sugar, use about a ¼ cup of monk fruit sugar substitute. Add more to taste. 
    • Use in cold or hot coffee. 
    • Use to flavor hot or iced chai lattes.
    • Add a splash of my Brown Sugar Syrup for more sweetness.

    FAQs

    What is in the Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew?

    The Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew contains cold brew, vanilla simple syrup, pumpkin cream (pumpkin sauce, cream, milk), and is finished with a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. 

    Is Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew fattening?

    A grande (16 ounce) pumpkin cream cold brew from Starbucks has 250 calories and 12 grams of fat compared to a grande pumpkin spice latte which has 390 calories and 15 grams of fat. Making your own pumpkin spice creamer allows you to control the amount of sugar. 

    Does Pumpkin cream cold brew have coffee?

    Yes, the base of the drink is cold brew coffee. 

    What is the pumpkin cream made of?

    The pumpkin cream at Starbucks is made of cream, milk, and pumpkin sauce (contains dairy). This pumpkin cream cold brew recipe uses sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. See variations above for a dairy free option. 

    Is the pumpkin cream cold brew sweet?

    Depending on which method you use to make the creamer, you can control the sweetness. Add just a splash of the pumpkin creamer to the cold brew for a not overly sweet coffee.
