Keto Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew {Starbucks Copycat}

Whip up this easy keto pumpkin cream cold brew at home in no time just like the one you get in your favorite coffee shop! With 2 grams of net carbs per serving you won't even miss the real thing!

It might officially be sweater weather but days are still warm here in Ontario. I'm not ready to give up my cold drinks yet but I do embrace all things pumpkin. This is my favorite out of all the Starbucks copycat I make.

This drink combines all of my favorite things : pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cream and coffee. I'm so excited to give you the recipe for the keto pumpkin cream cold brew - you can tell from the amount of photos I have added here. The real thing from Starbucks has loads of sugar and carbs and it's definitely not keto or low carb.

This is a healthy option for you at 2 grams of net carb, if you are watching your carb intake!

What is a pumpkin cream cold brew?

It is cold brew coffee topped with pumpkin infused cream beaten until soft and fluffy. The cream is then mixed with cold coffee and makes the most delicious creamy beverage. Starbucks comes out with this beverage every Fall and no wonder it is one of their best selling drinks.

Ingredients

• Heavy cream
• Pumpkin puree, NOT the pumpkin pie filling
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Sugar free vanilla syrup
• Cold brew coffee

How to make

First, you need cold brew coffee. It is easy to make your own cold brew coffee at home.

Combine 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups water in a mason jar or a French Press. Let it sit in the fridge overnight. Next day, strain the coffee using a cheese cloth. If you use a French press, just push the plunger down and pour the coffee in to another jar. Take the amount you need and leave the rest in the fridge covered.

You can also use store bought cold brew coffee, if that's convenient.

Next step is to make the pumpkin cream. Whip the heavy cream until light and airy. I use my electric beaters with whipping attachment to do the job. But a whisk with a little elbow grease would work too. Or an electric milk frother if you have one. Or shake the heavy cream in a mason jar until it turns thick.

Fold in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, sugar free syrup until combined.

Make sure you get the pumpkin puree, not the pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and we don't want that.

Use a good and fresh pumpkin pie spice. I have a fantastic recipe to make your own pumpkin pie spice mix.

I suggest you use a liquid sweetener: plain or flavored with no aftertaste for best results. If you opt to use a powdered sweetener use one that dissolves instantly. I use sugar free vanilla syrup and it adds an extra layer of flavor to the pumpkin cream cold brew. Delicious!

The pumpkin cream makes two servings. The extra can be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the fridge.

Fill a tall glass with ice and pour one to two cups of cold brew coffee, add a splash or two of sugar free syrup and spoon the pumpkin cream on top.

A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice is totally optional but makes everything better.

Stir the pumpkin cream with the cold coffee until combined for a delicious, creamy pumpkin cream cold brew. I use a stainless steel straw to do this and absolutely love mine. We switched to these straws a few years back and never looked back. Good for the environment and long lasting!
