Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• heavy cream
• milk
• vanilla extract
• simple syrup or sugar

Directions

I start by combining heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and simple syrup in a small bowl or jar.

I whisk the mixture or use a handheld frother until it becomes light and foamy. I make sure not to over-whip, since I want a pourable foam rather than stiff whipped cream.

Once it reaches the right consistency, I gently pour it over iced coffee, cold brew, or any chilled drink.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 2 servings from this recipe.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add flavored syrups like caramel or hazelnut for a different twist. When I want a stronger vanilla flavor, I use vanilla bean paste instead of extract. I also like making a dairy-free version with coconut or almond milk.

storage/reheating

I store any leftover foam in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Before using it again, I whisk or shake it to bring back the texture. I don’t freeze it, as the consistency won’t hold.
