A cozy fall-inspired iced latte featuring a nutty brown butter pumpkin cold foam topping, perfect for a quick and comforting seasonal drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half (or dairy-free milk like oat or almond for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned or fresh roasted)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee (about 240 ml)
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Optional: additional maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Place 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as it melts and begins to foam. When the butter turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma (about 3-5 minutes), remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
  2. In a heat-safe bowl, combine the browned butter with 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half. Add 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk or stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Using a milk frother or handheld immersion blender, froth the pumpkin butter mixture until thick, creamy, and doubled in volume (about 1-2 minutes). Chill briefly if foam is too runny.
  4. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh espresso or strong coffee. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the coffee over the ice.
  5. Spoon the creamy brown butter pumpkin cold foam gently over the iced coffee. Optionally, drizzle a little maple syrup on top.
  6. Serve immediately with a spoon or straw. Stir if desired or sip through the foam.

Notes

Use small-curd pumpkin puree for smooth texture. Chill milk mixture before frothing for thicker foam. If foam separates, re-froth with immersion blender. For vegan version, substitute butter with vegan butter or coconut oil and use oat or almond milk. Adjust sweetness by reducing maple syrup.
