WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Ingredients:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup milk (whole milk or 2% recommended)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
Equipment:
- A milk frother, handheld mixer, or blender
- Measuring cups
- A mixing bowl or frothing pitcher
Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam Coffee
STEP 1: Combine Ingredients.
In a mixing bowl or frothing pitcher, combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla syrup. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup to your taste.
STEP 2: Froth the Mixture.
Use a milk frother, handheld mixer, or blender to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and frothy. Aim for a consistency similar to melted ice cream – it should be creamy but pourable.
STEP 3: Serve!
Gently pour the cold foam over your iced coffee, cold brew, or any chilled beverage of your choice. Watch as it floats beautifully on top, ready to be stirred in or savored as-is.
STEP 4: Optional Garnish
For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a few vanilla bean specks for a gourmet flair.
Why Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam is a Must-Try
This creamy, sweet topping elevates your iced coffee game by adding both flavor and texture. Unlike traditional cream or milk, cold foam doesn’t mix immediately into your drink. Instead, it rests on top, providing a silky layer you can sip through, enhancing each moment of your coffee-drinking experience.
Perfect Pairings
- Cold Brew: The richness of cold foam complements the bold, smooth taste of cold brew.
- Iced Espresso: Pair it with a double shot of espresso over ice for a quick and decadent treat.
- Iced Chai Latte: The vanilla in the foam harmonizes beautifully with chai spices.
- Joey Dees Hazelnut or Bittersweet Dark Brews pair nicely.
Pro Tips for Success
- Chill the Ingredients: Cold cream and milk whip up faster and create a better foam.
- Use Fresh Cream: High-quality cream makes a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the sweet cream base (without frothing) and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Froth just before serving.
Customize Your Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam
- Flavor Twists: Try adding a dash of caramel syrup or hazelnut extract for a new flavor profile.
- Healthier Options: Use half-and-half or non-dairy alternatives like oat milk or coconut cream for a lighter version.
- Extra Frothy: For a thicker foam, use more heavy cream and less milk in your mixture.
