Of course, the cold foam may be added to any Starbucks beverage, but it's meant to be served with a cold brew or Nitro cold brew.

Baristas may also manufacture cold foam out of any sort of milk. However, it may not froth up as much as non-fat dairy milk.

Vanilla Sweet Cold Foam Recipe

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
4 out of 5 star rating

Yield

  • 2 cups of cold foam
  • 16 oz of cold brew coffee

Pre-Brew Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Whipping Cream
  • ½ cup 2% milk
  • 6 Tbsp Vanilla Simple Syrup
  • 16 oz Cold Brew Coffee

Prep Information

  • Prep time: 2 minutes
  • Additional Time: 1 minute
  • Total time: 4 minutes

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS:

  1.  Combine all ingredients except for cold brew in a chilled mason jar or blender.
  2. Vigorously shake mason jar for up to 3 minutes or blend until foamy
  3. Place foam contents in a freezer or refrigerate for 1 minute while preparing the last step.
  4. Pour 2 individual cups of Cold Brew Coffee or a 16 oz serving and place a dollop or two of the cold foam on top of the beverage before serving.

Mason Jar Vanilla Sweet Cream

Freeze a mason jar for 10–15 minutes before using it to make coffee. Pour 3–4 teaspoons of sweet cream into a chilled mason jar.


Shake the container vigorously until the liquid has thickened and has the consistency of melting ice cream.

French Press Sweet Cream  Iced Coffee

This is my preferred way. Fill your French press with 3-4 teaspoons of sweet cream.


Pump the sweet cream in the French press until it has doubled in size and resembles melting ice cream. Combine the milk frother and the milk.

Milk Frother Cold Foam

In a small glass, pour 3 teaspoons of sweet cream. Whip the sweet cream with the milk frother until it has doubled in size and resembles melting ice cream.

A steam wand should not be used since it will heat the mixture. You want the cool foam of sweet cream to be chilly.

Larger batches of the Sweet Cream Cold Press

If you're preparing a large amount of cold foam, combine all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and process until the mixture has doubled in size and resembles molten ice cream.

Optional ways include shaking cream rapidly in a cold container with a lid, frothing heavy cream in an electric milk frother, beating the cream with a mixer, or thickening the sweet heavy cream into the cold foam with an immersion blender.

How To Serve Cold Foam With Sweet Cream

Keep a container of sweet cream in the refrigerator for convenience. Then, while you're making a drink, use a bit of it to make cold foam.


As a rule of thumb, for a 16-ounce beverage, I find that 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sweet cream suffices. It is the same with vanilla, sweet cream.

Serve it over top of iced cold brew coffee.

Some cream will pour into the drink, and a cloud-like layer of foam will rest on top, much as at Starbucks.

Sweet Cream Cold Foam Cold Brew Coffee Beverage

For the optimal ratio, use roughly 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sweet cold foam per iced coffee. Pour it straight over cold coffee, and if it's thickened enough, it'll settle on top.

Continue to whisk or add extra chilled heavy cream as necessary. I like to whisk it in so that it dissolves into the coffee, but a lot of the froth will remain on top.

Hazelnut is a delicious accent to any fall or winter beverage. For serving suggestions, we would recommend you sprinkle some cinnamon or brown sugar on top.


FAQs

Is it possible to create a cold foam recipe with a frother?

Sure! Blending the ingredients with a frother is another option. Depending on the method you select to mix, the texture will change significantly (frother, blender, hand whisk). They all, however, provide a delectable result.

Is it possible to generate cold foam using my espresso machine's steam wand?

With a steam wand, you can't generate cold foam. Steam wands utilize steam to froth and heat liquids, so it'll be too hot to add to iced coffee beverages.

What may I use in place of heavy cream or whole milk?

In a pinch, 1 and 1/4 cups of half-and-half can be substituted for the whole milk and heavy cream. For my Canadian readers, coffee cream is a good half-and-half substitution.

If you use this as an alternative, make sure you use coffee cream rather than flavored coffee creamer.

What is the amount of cold foam I should use per cup of coffee?

In general, 1/4 cup of cold foam should be used per cup of coffee. You'll be able to create roughly 6 cups of cold brew with cold foam if you do so.

What do I do if I do not have a hand blender?

Alternatively, if you do not have a blender, you can hand whisk the mixture for 1 minute until you've achieved a thick foam.

FINAL THOUGHTS
