This Easy Strawberry Cold Foam recipe creates a light, fluffy, and creamy strawberry-flavored topping perfect for iced coffee or other cold beverages. Made with minimal ingredients like heavy cream, freeze-dried strawberries, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, it’s quick to prepare in just five minutes using a handheld frother or whisk.

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 taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, mix together the cold heavy cream, freeze-dried strawberry powder, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until they are combined.
  2. Froth the Mixture: Using a handheld frother or a whisk, vigorously whip the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms soft peaks. The texture should be airy and creamy.
  3. Avoid Over-Whipping: Be careful not to over-whip the foam, as it can turn into butter or become too stiff. Stop once you achieve the desired soft peak consistency.
  4. Serve or Store: Use the cold foam immediately by pouring it over your iced drink, or cover and refrigerate it for up to one day for later use.
  5. Enjoy: Pour the strawberry cold foam over your favorite iced beverage and savor the creamy, fruity topping.

Notes

  • Freeze-dried strawberry powder provides a more intense strawberry flavor than syrup and helps maintain the foam’s texture.
  • If using strawberry syrup, reduce powdered sugar as syrup can add additional sweetness.
  • The cold temperature of heavy cream is important for achieving the best froth.
  • This recipe makes enough foam for two servings or drinks.
  • Store any leftover foam in the refrigerator and remix gently before use.
