- Pumpkin puree should be pure pumpkin, not pie filling.
- Foam should be thick but pourable.
- Adjust sweetness to preference.
- Oat milk creates a creamy dairy-free option.
- Chill ingredients beforehand for best results.
- Shake cold foam in a jar if no frother is available.
- Serve immediately for layered presentation.
