This Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew is the fall version of my cold brew latte, with a smooth, creamy finish and cozy flavor from real pumpkin and my pumpkin pie spice. It’s an easy iced coffee for pumpkin spice season.
This pumpkin cold brew is perfect when you want all the flavor of a pumpkin spice latte without a hot drink. If you’re craving something warm instead, try my sugar-free pumpkin spice latte, or enjoy it with my pumpkin spice muffins for an easy fall breakfast.
Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
- A cold take on pumpkin spice: If you love pumpkin spice lattes but prefer iced coffee, this gives you the same cozy fall flavor in a creamy cold brew.
- Made with real pumpkin: Pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice give the drink its flavor without relying on pumpkin-flavored syrup.
- Quick and easy: The pumpkin cream comes together in just a few minutes, then you pour it over cold brew and ice.
Ingredients Needed
- Unsweetened almond milk: Makes the pumpkin mixture creamy. Regular milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or another milk you enjoy will also work.
- Pumpkin pie spice: Use a homemade pumpkin pie spice or store-bought blend.
- Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and complements the pumpkin spice.
- Sweetener: Use your preferred sweetener and adjust to taste. A sugar substitute works for a sugar-free version.
- Pumpkin puree: Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Cold brew: Use prepared cold brew. If you’re starting with concentrate, dilute it according to the package directions.
- Ice: For serving.
- Whipped cream: Optional. Use store-bought or my homemade whipped cream.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew

Pour the cold brew
Fill a tall glass with ice and add the cold brew, leaving enough room at the top for the pumpkin mixture.
Finish the drink
Slowly pour the pumpkin cream over the cold brew. Leave the layers visible for serving, then stir before drinking so the pumpkin flavor is evenly mixed throughout.
Recipe Tips
- Sweeten to taste: Cold coffee can mute sweetness, so taste the pumpkin mixture before adding it to the coffee.
- Use cold brew ice cubes: Freeze extra cold brew in an ice cube tray and use those instead of regular ice. They keep the drink cold without watering down the coffee as the ice melts.
- Make it creamier: Replace some of the milk with heavy cream, coconut cream, or your favorite coffee creamer.
- Adjust the coffee strength: Add more cold brew or a little concentrate if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor.
Make Ahead & Storage
- Make ahead: Prepare the pumpkin mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it separately from the cold brew.
- Storage: Keep the pumpkin mixture covered in the refrigerator. Stir, shake, or froth it again before serving since the pumpkin and spices can settle. Add the ice just before serving.
FAQs
It uses the same general idea of cold brew with a creamy pumpkin topping, but this homemade pumpkin spice cold brew uses real pumpkin puree and lets you choose the milk and sweetener.
I recommend plain pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling already contains sweetener and spices, so it will change both the flavor and sweetness of the drink.
