Ingredients

Scale

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 2–3 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Review all recipe notes and instructions before beginning to ensure you have all ingredients and equipment ready.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the heavy cream, 2% milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract into a cup or container large enough to allow the mixture to double in volume when frothed. Alternatively, you may use a blender or cold foam maker if available.
  3. Froth Mixture: Using a handheld frother (or mixer, blender, or dedicated foamer), froth the cream mixture until it thickens and approximately doubles in volume. The texture should be light, creamy, and still pourable—thinner than traditional whipped cream—to create the perfect topping for cold beverages.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar to taste, adding between 2-3 teaspoons depending on desired sweetness.
  • For best results, use cold ingredients straight from the refrigerator.
  • The foam should be thick but still pourable; avoid over-whipping as it can turn into whipped cream.
  • The foam can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but froth again before using if it deflates.
