This Sweet Cream Cold Foam recipe creates a rich, velvety foam that perfectly tops your iced coffee or espresso drinks. Made with a blend of heavy cream, milk, and vanilla syrup, this easy cold foam adds a luscious, mildly sweet creaminess that elevates your cold beverage experience in just minutes.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp. milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Iced coffee, iced espresso, or desired iced coffee beverage (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small glass or container, pour 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of your choice of milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup. This mixture will form the base of your sweet cream cold foam.
  2. Froth the Mixture: Using a handheld frother, milk frother, or an electric whisk, froth the mixture vigorously for 15 to 25 seconds. The goal is to incorporate air and create a light, fluffy foam that holds its shape.
  3. Serve and Top: Pour or spoon the freshly made cold foam directly over your iced coffee or iced espresso. Serve immediately to enjoy the rich, creamy texture contrasting the chilled coffee.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold heavy cream and milk straight from the refrigerator.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of vanilla syrup.
  • The cold foam is best consumed immediately as it can lose frothiness over time.
  • If you don’t have a frother, shake the mixture vigorously in a jar with a tight-fitting lid to create foam.
  • Using skim milk will produce a lighter foam, while whole milk will be creamier.
