Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% works best)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Having everything ready will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Chill Your Equipment: For the best results, chill your mixing bowl and whisk or frother in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. Cold equipment helps the cream whip up better and faster.
- Combine the Ingredients: In your chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, followed by 1/2 cup of milk.
- Add Sweetness: Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to the mixture.
- Flavor It Up: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
- Season with Salt: Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Whip the Mixture: Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or a frother, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Check the Consistency: Ensure the foam is thick enough to hold its shape but still light and airy. Avoid over-whipping.
- Taste Test: Taste the foam and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar and whipping briefly.
- Transfer to Container: Spoon the foam into an airtight container, leaving some space at the top.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container and refrigerate. Use within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- Choose Your Beverage: This foam pairs beautifully with iced coffee, cold brew, iced tea, smoothies, or milkshakes.
- Prepare Your Drink: Brew your coffee or tea and let it cool slightly. Pour your drink into a glass filled with ice.
- Add the Foam: Spoon or pour a generous layer of Sweet Cream Cold Foam on top of your drink.
- Garnish (Optional): Consider adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
Notes
