To make sweet cream cold foam, follow these steps:
Ingredients
- Heavy cream (cold)
- Milk (preferably 2%, cold)
- Vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
Basic Recipe
- Combine about 3 tablespoons of cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of cold milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup in a small jar or container with a lid.
- Seal the jar and shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, soft, and creamy foam. Alternatively, you can use a handheld milk frother, blender, or hand mixer to froth the mixture until it turns into foam.
- Pour the sweet cream cold foam over your iced coffee or espresso beverage immediately and enjoy
Tips
- Use cold ingredients for best results.
- If you don't have a frother, shaking in a jar works well.
- Homemade vanilla syrup can be made by simmering equal parts sugar and water with a vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste, then cooling and storing it in the fridge for at least 6 hours
- The foam should be light and pourable, not stiff like whipped cream
- Dairy-free milk alternatives can be used but may not hold foam as well
This method replicates Starbucks-style sweet cream cold foam, giving a creamy, sweet, and velvety topping for your coffee drinks
