Dunkin vs Starbucks: Which Has The Best Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam?

*Our opinion on the two popular fall toppings, and who we think is the reigning champion for pumpkin cream cold foam*

Both Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks offer amazing coffee drinks that would make anyone drool. With each new year, they add a spontaneous new recipe to their arsenal. With the introduction of the trendy cold foam, it was bound to see a flavored version that was perfect for fall. So it’s a no-brainer why both companies came out with their own version of the super popular pumpkin cream cold foam.

Dunkin lovers will toot that Dunkins offers that amazing creaminess that Starbucks just can’t beat, but on the other side of the flavor spectrum Starbucks has nailed the flavoring of pumpkin spice to the core!

So which one do we think is the reigning champion for the best fall-flavored pumpkin topping? We had to go with Starbucks, While Dunkin has nailed the texture and perfect blend of foamy and creaminess that any cold foam guru would gush over, we just can’t help but drool over Starbucks Pumpkin flavoring, their pumpkin sauce is ahhhmazing and tastes like natural pumpkin, while Dunkin’s leave an almost artificial too sweet pumpkin pie flavor in our minds. and used in almost all their pumpkin recipes and we are complete suckers for it. Although we do hope Starbucks increases its creaminess in then cold foam, we think we can live with it as it is.

Again, this is all just our personal opinion, if you prefer Dunkin’s creamy and delicious version then by all means order away because we also love it! We just happen to be a little biased because we love us some starbucks 😆.

How To Make Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam At Home

Ingredients For Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam

Pumpkin Puree: No pumpkin recipe is complete without using actual pumpkin puree, go ahead and use homemade pumpkin puree or the canned kind. If you do opt for homemade pumpkin puree, you’ll have to add a little sweetness and spices to make it more flavorful.

Vanilla Syrup Or Cane Syrup: Pumpkin puree naturally isn’t very sweet, even though it smells heavenly. Due to this, you’ll need to add some form of sweetness to this recipe to really bring out that pumpkin star. We recommend using vanilla syrup but you can also opt for regular cane syrup. We dont recommend using sugar because the grains won’t mix well in cold liquids and will leave a grainy texture in your cold foam.

Pumpkin Spice: Yes pumpkin spice and everything nice is a must-have for creating this recipe, we like to mix a bit into the actual cold foam and use it as a topping. but you can opt-out of using it if you’re not a fan of the spices. You can also create your pumpkin spicy and adjust it to your liking.

Heavy Whipping Cream: Heavy whipping cream is what gives any cold foam that thick and whipped texture that so many of us love. If you prefer your whipped cold foam to be less thick and foamier, use less heavy cream and a bit more milk in the mixture.

Condensed milk: Okay why are we using condensed milk and vanilla syrup to sweeten this recipe? The condensed milk is the main sweetening ingredient since we use a tbsp in our recipe and only a tsp of syrup. The condensed milk is a thickener and sweetener in this recipe. If you like subtle sweetness, omit the vanilla syrup and only used condensed milk.

Salt: Salt is known to bring out sweetness, so we like to add a tiny pinch to our cold foam recipes such as this one. Any salt will do, but we prefer Himalayan ground salt

Milk: A thin milk such as 2% milk is perfect for countering the heaviness of heavy whipping cream. We prefer 2% but you can choose whatever milk you like that similar fat level. Keep in mind subbing with other kinds of milk will change the flavor profile, some kinds of milk are nuttier, oaty, coconutty, etc.

Equipment You’ll Need
