Description
Make the signature thick and sweet vanilla cold foam topping for your iced coffee drinks at home using simple ingredients and a quick mixing method.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons 2% milk (or whole milk)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup (use Starbucks brand or similar quality)
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Combine the heavy whipping cream, 2% milk, vanilla syrup, and powdered sugar (if using) in a tall, narrow container, such as a mason jar or a small mixing bowl.
- Use an electric milk frother or an immersion blender to mix the ingredients on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Continue mixing until the mixture thickens significantly and holds soft peaks. It should look airy and creamy, similar to whipped cream but slightly looser.
- If you do not have a frother or immersion blender, place the ingredients in a sealed jar and shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until the foam forms.
- Pour your prepared cold brew or iced coffee into a glass.
- Gently spoon the vanilla sweet cream cold foam over the top of your beverage.
Notes
- For the most authentic texture, use heavy whipping cream as the base. Do not substitute with only milk.
- To prevent the foam from separating quickly, use cold ingredients.
- This foam works well on iced coffee, cold brew, or even hot lattes if you prefer a creamy topping.
