This refreshing Strawberry Cold Foam recipe combines the creamy richness of whipped heavy cream with the sweet, fruity flavor of homemade strawberry syrup. Perfect to top iced coffee or matcha lattes, this cold foam adds a delightful touch of indulgence and vibrant color to your favorite cold beverages.

Ingredients

Cold Foam

  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 23 tbsp strawberry syrup
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberry Syrup

  • 8 oz strawberries, washed, hulled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Syrup: In a medium-sized pot, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Heat over medium until the mixture reaches a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Mash the Strawberries: Use a potato masher or fork to smash the strawberries gently, releasing their natural juices. Remove the pot from heat once mashed.
  3. Strain the Syrup: Pour the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a small jar to separate the syrup from the pulp. Use a spoon to press the solids and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp or use it for another recipe.
  4. Make the Cold Foam: In a jar or liquid measuring cup, combine 2-3 tablespoons of the freshly prepared strawberry syrup, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Froth the Mixture: Use a handheld milk frother to beat the liquid until it thickens and forms a light, airy foam. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Spoon the strawberry cold foam over iced coffee or an iced matcha latte for a deliciously creamy and fruity topping. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • The amount of strawberry syrup used in the foam can be adjusted to taste for sweetness and flavor intensity.
  • Ensure the cream is cold before frothing to achieve the best foam texture.
  • The leftover strawberry pulp can be used in smoothies or as a topping for yogurt.
  • If you don’t have a milk frother, you can vigorously whisk the mixture by hand or use a blender for a similar effect.
  • The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
