Ingredients
Cold Foam Ingredients
- 30 ml heavy cream (cold)
- 5 g freeze-dried strawberries (powdered) or strawberry syrup
- 15 ml whole milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 g powdered sugar (or to your taste)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, add the cold heavy cream, freeze-dried strawberry powder, whole milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately for the best consistency.
- Froth the Mixture: Using a handheld frother or a whisk, vigorously whisk the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy with soft peaks. This should only take a few minutes. The texture should be smooth and airy.
- Avoid Over-whipping: Stop whipping as soon as soft peaks form to prevent the cream from turning into butter. Over-whipping will ruin the desired foam texture.
- Serve or Store: Use the cold foam immediately by pouring it over your iced beverage, such as coffee or tea. If not using right away, cover the foam and refrigerate for up to 1 day, gently stirring before serving.
- Enjoy: Spoon or pour the strawberry cold foam over your iced drink and enjoy a fresh, creamy, and fruity topping that enhances every sip.
Notes
- Freeze-dried strawberry powder provides the most authentic flavor and color, but strawberry syrup can be used as an alternative.
- Use cold heavy cream for optimum frothing results.
- Non-dairy milk alternatives work well, but whole milk enhances creaminess.
- Adjust the powdered sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
- Do not over-whip to maintain the ideal light and airy texture.
- Store leftover foam covered in the fridge and use within one day for best freshness.
