We all know and love the famous sweet cream cold foam that beautifully floats on top of our favorite coffee drinks. Life is short, so why not elevate your coffee at home with this fluffy, floating treat? With 2 simple ingredients, you’ll be topping off your java morning after morning (and then some). Check out our recipe for homemade sweet cream cold foam! We lovingly refer to it in our households as “whip” and hope that it becomes a favorite in your homes as well.

Sweet Cream Cold Foam

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp. Heavy Cream

• 3 Tbsp. Coffee Creamer (your favorite flavor)

Instructions

1. Wondering how to make this sweet cream cold foam? Add 3 Tbsp. of heavy cream and 3 Tbsp. of your favorite flavor of coffee creamer (french vanilla and caramel are our personal favorites but seasonal flavors — like pumpkin spice or peppermint mocha — also make a welcomed addition) to a glass measuring cup, mason jar, or empty coffee mug.

2. Using a milk frother, whip the heavy cream and creamer until light and fluffy. If you do not have a milk frother, simply add both ingredients to a mason jar, secure a lid on top, and shake vigorously until the mixture is light, airy, and frothy.

3. Prepare your hot or iced coffee drink to your preference.

4. Slowly pour the sweet cream cold foam on top for an elevated homemade barista drink!

Servings

This recipe makes enough cold foam for 2 cups of coffee. However, if you have a large coffee or simply love a lot of sweet cream cold foam (like us), you could use the entire batch on top.

If you have any leftover mixture, you can store it in a jar with a lid for up to 3 days in the fridge. Just be sure to re-whip the sweet cream cold foam again before serving. Not sure how to make this sweet cream cold foam to yield more servings? If you’d like to make a large batch for company, simply double or triple the recipe based on how many individuals you are planning to serve.

FAQs

• What is sweet cream cold foam made of?

  Our homemade sweet cream cold foam recipe only includes 2 ingredients — heavy cream and flavored coffee creamer. If you don’t have coffee creamer, you could substitute milk and a flavored syrup or extract.

• How long will cold foam last?

  Sweet cream cold foam should last about 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container. The mixture may deflate, so you’ll have to re-whip your sweet cream cold foam before you top your beverages again.

• Can I make cold foam without a frother?

  If you’re wondering how to make this sweet cream cold foam without a frother, just add both ingredients to a mason jar, put the lid on, and shake until the mixture is nice and frothy.
