Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew offers a festive twist on coffee, with some nutritional benefits from the pumpkin. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and antioxidants. To make it healthier, consider using unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk instead of heavy cream to reduce calories and saturated fat. You can also reduce the amount of maple syrup or use a sugar-free sweetener alternative. Cold brew coffee is naturally less acidic than hot brewed coffee, which may be easier on the stomach. While this drink can be a tasty treat, it's important to be mindful of added sugars and calories. For a lighter version, use less of the pumpkin cream topping or enjoy the cold brew with just a splash of pumpkin-spiced milk. As with all caffeinated beverages, moderation is key for maintaining healthy sleep patterns.

Ingredients

 

For the cold brew:

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
  • 4 cups cold water

For the pumpkin cream:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Additional:

  • Ice cubes
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. For cold brew: Combine ground coffee and cold water in a large jar. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

  2. Strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Store in the refrigerator.

  3. For pumpkin cream: In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  4. Using a hand mixer or frother, whip the mixture until soft peaks form.

  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes.

  6. Pour cold brew over the ice, leaving room at the top for the cream.

  7. Gently spoon the pumpkin cream over the cold brew.

  8. Sprinkle with a dusting of ground cinnamon.

  9. Serve immediately with a straw for stirring.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Panda Express Just Launched Its First-Ever Brisket — And It Has 44 Grams of Protein

At 44 grams of protein and 410 calories, the Cantonese BBQ Brisket is one of the most protein-efficient entrées in the fast-casual category — making it a genuinely smart choice for anyone prioritizing protein intake. Pairing it with steamed white rice as Chef Jimmy Wang recommends keeps the meal simple and balanced, or swap in brown rice for added fiber. Since the dish contains no vegetable fillers, rounding it out with a side of super greens or string bean chicken on the side is an easy way to add vitamins and fiber to an otherwise protein-heavy meal.
