Equipment
- Whisk or handheld milk frother
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream Chill before use for best results
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional, for flavor
- 1-2 teaspoons sugar powder Optional, for sweetness and shimmer
Instructions
- Pour the chilled heavy cream into your mixing bowl.
- Add vanilla extract and sugar powder if you'd like a flavored foam with a touch of sweetness.
- Use your whisk or handheld frother to vigorously whip the cream until it thickens and begins to form soft peaks, which should happen within 30-60 seconds with a frother or a few minutes by hand.
- Continue whipping until the foam becomes velvety, lush, and holds a soft peak that gently curls at the tip when you lift the whisk.
- Check the texture—if it’s glossy, airy, and slightly firm but still soft, your cold foam is ready.
- Gently spoon or pour the cold foam over your iced coffee or beverage, creating a thick, cloud-like topping that sits beautifully on top.
- Enjoy immediately for the best fluffy texture and visual appeal, with the foam contrasting beautifully against the chilled drink.
Notes
Ensure your cream is thoroughly chilled before whipping. For extra flavor, experiment with different extracts or a splash of flavored syrup before whipping.
