Craving that smooth, silky cold foam from your favorite coffee shop? This Homemade Sweet Cream Cold Foam is just as dreamy — but made with clean ingredients right at home.

It’s lightly sweet, perfectly frothy, and the ultimate way to level up your iced coffee. All you need is a few pantry staples and 5 minutes. No artificial syrups, no overpriced add-ons — just a cozy café moment, Healthy Fast Food at Home style.

 

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup milk of choice (oat, almond, or dairy)

  • 2 tbsp half-and-half or coconut cream

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)

 

Instructions:

  1. Combine ingredients
    In a small cup or frothing pitcher, mix together milk, half-and-half, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt if using.

  2. Froth it up
    Use a handheld milk frother, immersion blender, or whisk vigorously until light and foamy (about 20–30 seconds).

  3. Top your coffee
    Spoon the foam gently over your iced coffee or cold brew. Sip and enjoy the creamy, café-style treat!

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Dairy-free option: Use oat milk + coconut cream for a plant-based version that froths beautifully.

  • No frother? A mason jar works — just shake it hard with the lid on!

  • Make it flavored: Add a splash of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or peppermint extract for seasonal twists.

  • Prep ahead: Mix the base (before frothing) and store in the fridge up to 3 days — froth fresh when ready.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Sweet Cream Cold Foam is your new favorite coffee upgrade — smooth, creamy, and just sweet enough. It’s a little moment of joy that fits right into your morning routine (without the drive-thru line).
