Coffee-shop flavor at home
Inspired by the creative café drinks I enjoyed while traveling in Seoul, this cold foam layers maple, pumpkin, spice, and tangy cream cheese over your favorite coffee or chai.
A small spoonful transforms an everyday drink into a seasonal treat.

Dianne's kitchen tip
Start with cold ingredients.
Cold cream foams more easily and holds its texture longer.
Shake or stir the refrigerated base before making your next serving.
