Ingredients
Chai Latte Base
- 8 oz chai concentrate
- 8 oz milk of choice
Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam
- 2 tbsp non-fat milk
- 6 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp pumpkin puree
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice (plus extra for sprinkling)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Base: Pour the non-fat milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk into a mason jar. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip the mixture until large bubbles form and the texture becomes thick and smooth.
- Add Pumpkin Flavor: Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt to the whipped milk mixture in the mason jar. Optionally, add more sugar to taste. Continue whipping until the mixture is fully combined and the foam thickens just before soft peaks form.
- Assemble the Chai Latte: Fill a glass with ice, then pour in the chai concentrate. Add an equal amount of your choice of milk to the glass and stir gently to combine.
- Top with Pumpkin Cream Foam: Spoon or pour the prepared pumpkin cream cold foam over the chilled chai latte. Sprinkle additional pumpkin spice on top for garnish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade iced pumpkin cream chai latte with a perfect balance of spiced pumpkin and chai flavors.
Notes
- Use chilled ingredients for the best cold foam texture.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk or sugar.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Chai concentrate can be homemade or store-bought, adjust sweetness accordingly.
- Whipping can be done by hand or with an electric hand mixer for faster results.
