Why I Like this Recipe

I love this recipe because it gives my iced coffee that satisfyingly sweet and creamy vibe. I really dig how easy it is to make at home with only a few ingredients. I appreciate that I can adjust the sweetness by adding extra vanilla syrup if I feel like it. I also enjoy how the foam is light and airy, making every sip a treat.

If you wanna make a delish Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam at home, here’s how I do it. First, I warm up my fridge by chilling the heavy cream, milk, and even a small bowl for about 10 minutes. This makes frothing so much easier later on. Then I pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the bowl and add 1/2 cup of milk – I find that whole milk or 2% works best. Next, I stir in 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup until everything is mixed nicely.

I usually use a hand frother or immersion blender to beat the mixture on medium speed until it turns frothy and light. But if I dont have any special tool, I just throw the mixture into a jar with a tight lid and shake it really hard for about 30 to 45 seconds. I keep an eye on the texture so that it doesn’t get too runny. Finally, I pour the foam gently on top of my iced coffee or any chilled drink of my choice. If I want it even sweeter, I’ll add a little more vanilla syrup and mix it once more. Enjoying this homemade version always makes my day!

FAQ

Sweet Cream Cold Foam Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For heavy cream, you can use coconut cream or even half and half if you want less of that rich fat taste.
• If you’re out of whole or 2% milk, almond milk or oat milk works just as good and it’s a neat twist.
• Don’t have vanilla syrup? You can whip up your own simple syrup by mixing equal parts water and sugar with a little vanilla extract.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your heavy cream and milk are super cold before you start. It really helps to get that perfect frothy texture when everything is chilled out.
2. If you dont have a fancy frothing tool, no worries. Just toss the mix in a jar with a tight lid and shake it like you mean it, but always check that the lid is on tight so you dont end up cleaning a mess.
3. When mixing in the vanilla syrup, add it slowly and give it a taste. You can always add a little more if you like it sweeter, but it’s easier to do it gradually so you dont overdo it.
4. Keep an eye on the texture as you froth it. You want it light and airy, so if it starts to look too runny, stop whisking and enjoy your cold foam as is.
