A quick and easy recipe to create a luscious vanilla sweet cream cold foam that transforms your iced coffee into a creamy, dreamy treat with a delicate vanilla aroma.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or simple syrup
  • Optional pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure your ingredients: Combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) of heavy cream, 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or simple syrup in a small mixing bowl or jar. Add a pinch of salt if using.
  2. Mix gently: Stir the ingredients together just enough to dissolve the sugar slightly and blend the vanilla throughout. Avoid over-stirring to prevent deflating the cream.
  3. Froth the mixture: Using your handheld frother, submerge the whisk head into the liquid and turn it on. Move it slowly up and down for about 30-45 seconds, until the foam thickens and roughly doubles in volume. The foam should be creamy and hold soft peaks but still pour easily.
  4. Check texture: If the foam feels too thin, froth a few seconds longer, but be careful not to over-froth or it will start to separate. If you donโ€™t have a frother, put the mixture in a tight-lid jar and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes until creamy foam forms.
  5. Pour over iced coffee: Gently spoon or pour the creamy vanilla sweet cream cold foam over your prepared iced coffee or cold brew.
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy before the foam settles to keep that texture contrast between smooth cream and chilled coffee.

Notes

Use cold cream and milk for best frothing results. Avoid over-frothing to prevent the cream from breaking down. Simple syrup dissolves better than granulated sugar. Pure vanilla extract is recommended for authentic flavor. If no frother is available, shaking in a sealed jar works but requires more effort.
