Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte

This new Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte recipe is perfect for anyone who loves fall coffee recipes! A warmly spiced, perfectly frosty pumpkin latte base is topped with a creamy, dreamy toasted marshmallow cold foam—reminiscent of my favorite Thanksgiving casserole. 🎃

If you’re new here, let me introduce myself. Hi! I’m Megan, and I’m addicted to pumpkin spice everything. Pumpkin spice lattes, sure. But also pumpkin spice frappuccinos, pumpkin spice shaken espressos, pumpkin cold brews topped with pumpkin spice cold foam… What I’m trying to say is, if I can put my favorite pumpkin spice syrup in it, I will—and I’ll love it.

My newest creation is yet another feather in my PSL-loving cap, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! It starts with an iced pumpkin spice latte base, rich with creamy, earthy, cinnamon-y, gingery sweetness. 

But, the real star of the show is the toasted marshmallow topper. Imagine a consistency somewhere between freshly whipped cream and the foam on top of a latte. Now imagine this fluffy cloud of yumminess is flavored like an ooey gooey campfire marshmallow. Not gonna lie—it’s as awesome as it sounds!

What is an iced pumpkin marshmallow latte?

This marshmallow pumpkin drink is simply my newest ode to pumpkin spice iced coffee drinks. The frosty, flavorful base is composed of bold espresso, creamy milk, and a hefty drizzle of pumpkin spice coffee syrup, while the top is composed of a toasted marshmallow-flavored sweet cream cold foam. 

If you like the sound of both, lemme tell you: together, they are much more than the sum of their parts! In fact, I can almost guarantee this pumpkin spiced iced coffee drink will knock your cozy little socks off.

What does it taste like?

This iced pumpkin spice coffee is a crave-worthy mash-up of a creamy latte, pumpkin pie, and chocolate-free s’mores. If you’ve had the pleasure of eating Southern-style sweet potato casserole, this is essentially the cold, coffee-infused liquid version. Magnificent!

Why You’ll Love This Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte Recipe

• Quick & Easy - If you have your coffee syrups ready to go, you’ll be able to make this icy pumpkin & toasted marshmallow coffee in 5 minutes or less.
• Sensationally Seasonal - For anyone who wishes pumpkin spice season would last all year long, this one’s for you. 😘
• A Fun Twist - Adding this toasty, marshmallow-y topper to a classic pumpkin spice iced latte is perhaps my best idea yet!

Ingredients Needed

My newest iced latte might be overflowing with bold flavors, but you only need a handful of ingredients to make it. Here’s what to grab:

• Heavy Cream & Whole Milk - This creamy dream team is the base of the sweet cold foam topper. 
• Toasted Marshmallow Syrup - The best part of any s’more is the marshmallow, and this simple syrup captures that flavor profile perfectly. Better yet, my homemade version is made with just 4 basics: marshmallows, sugar, water, and vanilla extract.
• Pumpkin Spice Syrup - You can’t make this pumpkin iced coffee without it! 
• Espresso - The caffeinated heart and soul of any iced latte. 
• 2% Milk - For a luscious mouthfeel without blowing your calorie budget.
• Ice - If possible, start with filtered water for the purest taste. 

Substitutions

Need to make adjustments based on what you've got in your pantry? Not to worry. Here are some easy swaps to try:

• Heavy Cream & Whole Milk - We use a 2:1 ratio of cream to milk, which is twice as creamy as half n’ half. Because of this, you can also use the same 2:1 ratio, but swap in two parts ½ and ½ and 1 part cream.
• Toasted Marshmallow Syrup - Take a page from Starbucks’ playbook. While they don’t have a specific toasted marshmallow syrup, they create a similar flavor profile by mixing white mocha syrup, caramel syrup, and vanilla syrup.
• Pumpkin Spice Syrup - Not a fan of pumpkin? (Gasp!!) Feel free to swap in another warmly spiced alternative like gingerbread syrup or toasted cinnamon syrup. 
• Espresso - Strongly brewed cold brew will work just as well, and give you an extra hit of caffeine while you’re at it.
• 2% Milk - Feel free to swap in whatever milk you please!
• Ice - For added buzz, try using coffee ice cubes instead.

How To Make An Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte

Step 1: Make Marshmallow Cold Foam. Add the heavy cream, toasted marshmallow syrup, and whole milk to a small glass or jar. Froth with a milk frother for 10-20 seconds or until foamy. Set aside.

Step 2: Add ice to a tall glass, then pour in the pumpkin spice syrup.

Step 3: Brew your espresso into the glass of ice and syrup. 

Step 4: Top the sweetened espresso with the milk of your choice, then stir.

Step 5: Assemble. Top the pumpkin spice latte with the marshmallow cold foam, then drink up!

Optional Variations & Dietary Adjustments

My favorite part of playing barista at home is that I can make any coffee drink my way. Here are some ways you can customize:

• Dairy-Free/Vegan - To make vegan cold foam, use either well-shaken full-fat canned coconut milk ~or~ a blend of vegan whipping cream (or coconut cream) and the full-fat plant-based milk of your choice. Don’t forget to make sure your marshmallows are vegan, too! For the latte base, any plant milk will work, though I recommend using a creamy barista blend for the best results. 
• Sugar-Free - Use sugar-free syrups to make this drink diabetic-friendly. I have instructions for making your own in their respective recipe posts!
• Skinny - Follow the instructions for making a sugar-free pumpkin toasted marshmallow latte, then swap in skim milk or a low-calorie dairy-free version (e.g. almond milk) for the latte base.
• Hot - While the cold foam won’t last long on a hot drink, you’re welcome to use the marshmallow syrup for whipped cream instead!

Serving Suggestions

While this yummy autumnal treat needs no special occasion or accompaniment, there are tons of opportunities to give it a try:

• Chill & Thrill: Enjoy this pumpkin marshmallow iced latte for your next spooky movie night. Nestle into a cozy blanket fort with your favorite fall flicks and let the rich, autumnal flavors set the mood.
• Bonfire Bliss: Sip on this delightful latte while gathered around a crackling bonfire. The smoky aroma of the fire complements the sweet, toasted notes of the marshmallow, making it the perfect fireside treat. Don't forget the s'mores for a full fall sensory experience!
• Morning Pick-Me-Up: Replace your regular morning brew with this festive latte. It's a fabulous way to infuse a little autumn magic into your morning hustle.
• Afternoon Delight: Serve this iced latte as a refreshing pick-me-up during a leisurely afternoon. Pair it with a pumpkin scone or spice cookies for a truly indulgent treat that reinvigorates your day.
• Seasonal Soirée: Try serving this pumpkin marshmallow latte at your next fall gathering or Thanksgiving dinner as a unique beverage option. The creative twist on seasonal flavors is sure to impress your guests! Feel free to offer some spirits on the side for the adults to spike their cups. 

Recipe Success Tips

• Plan ahead. Make sure your coffee syrups are ready to go so your morning goes smoothly. You can even mix all the cold foam ingredients together in a glass and refrigerate it over night so all you have to do is froth it in the am!
• Use high-quality espresso. While the pumpkin and marshmallow flavors steal the show, this iced latte will taste even more delicious with your favorite roast.
• Make your own coffee syrup. There’s no reason to pay upwards of $11 for a bottle of mostly sugar and water! My homemade recipes have all the flavor at a fraction of the cost.
