For the Cold Brew:
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
For the Brown Sugar Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
For the Pumpkin Cream:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)

- 1 tablespoon white mocha sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar syrup (from above)
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and brown sugar over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
- For extra warmth, add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and stir well.
- Let the syrup cool to room temperature before use. Store any leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 2: Make the Pumpkin Cream
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, white mocha sauce, 1 teaspoon of the prepared brown sugar syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
- Using a handheld frother or whisk, whip the mixture until it thickens slightly, forming a creamy consistency. It should be pourable but velvety smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Drink
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee over the ice.
- Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared brown sugar syrup, adjusting for sweetness.
- Gently pour the pumpkin cream over the cold brew coffee, allowing it to float on top.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Top with whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for an extra festive touch.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the layers or stir to combine the flavors.
- Enjoy this Brown Sugared Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew as your new favorite seasonal indulgence.
