    I’m going to blow your mind with what I’m about to tell you…

    I’m not really into pumpkin spice!

    I used to like it more when I was younger, but these days I like my coffee brewed strong and dark, and then I add a generous splash of cream.

    No sugar, no flavorings, and no half and half, lol.

    But when I repeatedly heard from a few sources how good this drink is at Starbucks, I knew I needed to check it out for myself.

    It surprised me how much I enjoyed this fall beverage! I thought it was festive and fun without being overly sweet or too pumpkin-y. It was a fun switch up from my regular coffee.

    Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Recipe

    This recipe is sweet but not too sweet with the perfect amount of pumpkin spice and vanilla aroma. And the pumpkin flavor is present, but not overpowering!

    I tasted the pumpkin cream by itself and it was delicious. It reminded me of melted pumpkin spice ice cream, which makes me think this recipe could be adapted to make ice cream. But that’s an experiment for another day.

    How Do You Drink Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew?

    If you want to make the pumpkin cream foamy, whisk it by hand or with an electric mixer until slightly thickened.
