Sweet Cream Cold Foam with a Frother

Ok so since we are nearing the holidays the latest creation this was paired with was with out Homemade Pumpkin Frappuccino! Blended with ice to make sort of a coffee slushee of sorts it has been fun to change up the flavors on that one to make a treat that is WAY cheaper than buying one from Starbucks.

In the morning we will make a loaf of Healthy Coffee Cake and together they just start my day off right. Having a party or a few guests coming over? Make a larger batch easily in a bowl, we will show you that below. Best if enjoyed right away on top of your glass full of YUM it is easy enough to whisk together in just 2 minutes!

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam

Ok so many just want this to serve on top of their Chocolate Stout Cold Brew, that is wonderful I agree. There are tips and tricks to making the best base drink though, so let’s start off with that to begin with. If the bottom isn’t cold enough you will not be SUPER happy with the overall results so let’s go over that now.

How to Make Iced Coffee

1. Start by brewing a pot of coffee using your preferred coffee grounds and water. You can use a drip coffee maker, French press, or Keurig which will only make 1 cup at a time (you will need more tha 1 for perfection)
2. Allow it to cool to room temperature. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
3. #1 tip – Make coffee ice cubes!! Use an old fashioned ice cube tray to pour your liquid in 3/4 of the way full. Place flat in your freezer overnight ideally to harden completely.
4. Fill a glass with your prepped ice cubes. If you like your iced coffee on the sweeter side, you can add sweetener at this stage.
5. Pour cooled coffee over the top in your glass with some room at the top for this vanilla foam!!

You can see how we used a bowl when we made this cold foam at home for a bunch of people. If making individually or just doubled I would just use a mason jar. A smaller container will have less room in it so the frother can really do it’s job and poof it up to the ultimate fluffiness. 😉

Making iced coffee or Dalgona Whipped Coffee at home is not only cost effective but also allows you to customize it to your taste preferences. Let’s go over how to do it the right way before continuing on to the top featured in the recipe card below.

Cold Foam Ingredients

1. You will want an electric milk frother for best results. If you don’t want to buy something you CAN use a fast wrist and a regular whisk but it won’t be as poofy. An immersion blender would be the best second option if you have one of those.
2. Low fat skim milk or nonfat milk – we aren’t counting calories here friends but do want it frothy so it needs to be light
3. Heavy cream and milk is used to thicken it up to become more like a thick whipped cream, closer to Cool Whip consistency. Heavy cream can be used as an alternative
4. Sugar to sweeten but not completely necessary if you are served over sweet cold brew coffee or something. You can find store bought sugar free sweeteners too if needed too

How to Froth Cold Milk and Heavy Cream with Hand Frother

• Add all ingredients into a jar, swirl it around to combine.
• Use your handheld frother into the jar moving it up and down slowly for 20-30 seconds until it thickens to resemble frothy whipped cream.
• Use a spoon to scoop it out and transfer on to the top of your iced drink.

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam Calories

Of course there will be variations to the overall calories depending on which Coffee Drink Recipe you serve this over for one.
