4.2 from 15 reviews

This Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam is a creamy, frothy topping for iced coffee drinks, perfectly mimicking the popular Starbucks copycat. Made with heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla bean paste or syrup, it adds a sweet, velvety texture that enhances any cold coffee beverage.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Tsp. Vanilla Bean Paste + 1 Tbsp. Sugar OR 2-3 Pumps Vanilla Syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla bean paste and sugar or vanilla syrup in a French Press or a jar for frothing.
  2. Froth Using French Press: If using a French Press, move the press handle up and down vigorously until the mixture starts to foam and develops a creamy texture.
  3. Froth Using Handheld Frother: If using a handheld frother, shake the jar to mix ingredients well, then froth for 15-30 seconds until foamy.
  4. No Foam Option: To use as a creamer without foam, simply mix the ingredients in a jar until combined without frothing.
  5. Serve: Pour the vanilla sweet cream cold foam over iced coffee, cold brew, espresso, or any cold drink of your choice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of sugar or vanilla syrup according to taste.
  • Use whole milk for the creamiest foam; lower-fat milks may not foam as well.
  • If you don’t have a French Press or frother, vigorously shaking the mixture in a tightly sealed jar can also create some foam.
  • Serve immediately for best texture as the foam will dissipate over time.
  • This foam can be stored refrigerated for up to 24 hours but is best fresh.
