- For the best results, use chilled pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and milk. Cold ingredients help create a more stable and fluffy foam when blended.
- When blending or frothing the pumpkin mixture, avoid over-blending as it may lead to a dense or flat foam. Aim for a light and airy consistency.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the homemade pumpkin cream for a decadent twist. A dash of pumpkin spice over the pumpkin foam is an easy way to add more pumpkin spice flavor.
