Pumpkin Cold Brew
Description
The recipe begins by blending cashews, water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until very smooth, creating a dairy-free pumpkin coffee creamer. This prepared creamer is stored and used to flavor cold brew coffee. To serve, cold brewed coffee is poured over ice, and the pumpkin creamer is added until the desired sweetness and creaminess are achieved, then stirred to combine. The use of cashews lends creaminess without dairy, and maple syrup adds natural sweetness, balanced by the spice blend.
The drink offers a cool, creamy texture with autumnal pumpkin and spice tones. Cold brew provides a mellow coffee base that pairs well with the smooth creamer. This recipe suits those seeking dairy-free pumpkin coffee beverages at home. Making the creamer in advance allows convenient preparation, as it keeps refrigerated for several days.
Leftover creamer can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, allowing multiple servings. Nut-free substitutions are possible using cashew butter. Adjust creamer quantity per cup for preferred sweetness and creaminess.
Ingredients
Pumpkin Coffee Creamer
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Cold Brew
- 8 ounces coffee per serving, iced
Instructions
- To make the pumpkin coffee creamer, add the cashews, water, pumpkin, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender. Blend until very smooth, with no visible cashew pieces remaining. (Alternatively, you can use 2 tablespoons of cashew butter instead of the whole cashews.)
- To make the pumpkin cold brew, add 8 ounces of cold coffee to a glass of ice. (Use 8 ounces of coffee per serving; double or triple as needed!) Add a 1/4 cup of the pumpkin coffee creamer on top, then stir well to mix. Add more creamer, as needed, until the drink is as sweet and creamy as you'd like it to be.
- This recipe should make roughly 4 servings of the creamer, so you can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
