Ingredients

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

Sweet Cream Cold Foam is a dreamy twist on your usual iced coffee topping.

Its creamy texture and delightful sweetness can turn an ordinary cup into something special.

Mixing heavy cream with whole milk makes the foam rich and light at the same time.

The vanilla syrup brings a warm sugary note that adds personality to your drink.

It might not be the healthiest option if you’re watching calories, but its decadence is hard to resist.

Here are a few notes on the key ingredients:

Heavy Cream: rich, high-fat dairy that adds luxurious creaminess but is calorie dense.
Whole Milk: smooth, nutrient-rich dairy for a lighter, fresh-tasting foam with natural fats.
Vanilla Syrup: sweet, aromatic liquid that infuses the blend with delightful, warming flavor.

Ingredient Quantities

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (you can adjust this to your liking)

FAQ

Q: How do I mix these ingredients properly?

A: Just combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla syrup in a tall glass and use a frother or a simple whisk. It might take a minute or two to get a nice foam.

Q: Can I use low fat milk instead of whole milk?

A: Yes, you can but keep in mind that it will affect the creaminess. Whole milk is best for a rich and smooth cold foam.

Q: Do I need to chill the mix before frothing?

A: Definitely. Using chilled ingredients helps the foam get that perfect texture and keeps the drink cool.

Q: How can I adjust the sweetness of this foam?

A: You can adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to your taste. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more; if not, stick with the listed amount.

Q: Can I store the foam for later use?

A: It’s best to use the foam right away, as waiting might cause it to lose that light, frothy texture.

Sweet Cream Cold Foam Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you dont have heavy cream you can use half-and-half or even a mix of coconut cream with a little milk, its a nice dairy free twist.
If whole milk isn’t available, try almond or oat milk for a lighter option.
If you dont have vanilla syrup, mix a few drops of vanilla extract with some simple syrup to get a similar flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your cream and milk are really cold before mixing them so that you get a better, fluffier foam texture when frothing later.
2. When you’re frothing, start off slow and then ramp up your speed gradually to avoid overwhisking, which can make the foam too stiff and heavy.
3. Add the vanilla syrup little by little and taste as you go. It’s easier to add a bit more than to try and fix it if it becomes too sweet.
4. If you don’t have a proper frother, try shaking the mixture in a tightly sealed jar for a minute or two as a neat workaround.
