My take on a fall classic — smooth iced Nescafé topped with creamy homemade pumpkin cold foam, finished with cinnamon + pumpkin spice. A little cozy, a little refreshing, and totally autumn in a cup. 🍂✨
You’ll need:
• 1 cup milk of choice (for cold foam)
• 2 tsp pumpkin purée
• 1 tbsp sugar or maple syrup
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tsp Nescafé instant coffee
• ½ cup cold water
• Ice cubes
• Dash of cinnamon + pumpkin spice (for topping)
How to make:
1. In a small cup, mix Nescafé with cold water until dissolved.
2. Fill a glass with ice, pour in your coffee base.
3. In a separate cup, whisk or froth milk, pumpkin purée, sugar/maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until it’s thick + foamy (pumpkin cold foam ✨).
4. Spoon the cold foam on top of your iced coffee.
5. Sprinkle with cinnamon + pumpkin spice, sip, and enjoy that first crisp-fall vibe in every sip. 🍁☕
... Read moreThe Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) has become an iconic seasonal beverage celebrated worldwide for its comforting blend of warm spices and creamy texture. This PSL-inspired iced Nescafé recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional hot latte, making it perfect for those who enjoy their autumn flavors chilled and refreshing.
To create the perfect pumpkin cold foam that crowns the iced coffee, using fresh pumpkin purée adds natural sweetness and depth, while pumpkin pie spice—a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves—delivers that characteristic fragrant warmth. For sweetening, maple syrup complements the spices with a subtle richness that balances the coffee's boldness.
Nescafé instant coffee serves as a convenient and flavorful base, dissolving quickly in cold water to create a smooth, crisp coffee layer. Adding ice cubes chills the drink instantly, making it an ideal way to enjoy seasonal flavors on warmer days or as a cool treat.
When whisking the milk for the cold foam, using whole milk or a creamy alternative such as oat or almond milk enhances both the texture and taste, creating a thick, frothy topping that holds the spices well. This pumpkin cold foam adds a silky mouthfeel contrasting beautifully with the refreshing iced coffee beneath.
Sprinkling cinnamon and pumpkin spice atop the foam not only intensifies the aroma but also provides a visually appealing finish reminiscent of your favorite coffeehouse fall beverage.
For an added twist, consider experimenting with spiced syrups or a hint of vanilla extract in the foam mixture for personalized flavor notes. Whether you’re a fan of classic PSL flavors or seeking a new way to enjoy iced coffee with autumnal flair, this recipe is a quick, satisfying option easy to prepare in your own kitchen.
Embrace the cozy charm of fall with every sip of this iced pumpkin spice Nescafé — the perfect blend of comforting spice and refreshing chill to brighten crisp days and chilly evenings alike.
