Sweet Cream Cold Foam Recipe (2024)

I make low fat sugar free sweet foam with just milk and Purecane brand erythritol almost daily for my homemade cold brews. I am currently using a free frother but they are only like ten dollars. I use 4 0z of milk in a glass measuring cup and half a tsp of "sugar" Froth for like 15-30 seconds pulling the frother up to keep the blade at the top just under the surface but still visible adding in the most air possible until it looks like loose whipped cream. Nothing could be simpler.

Use half and half which is a blend of cream and milk. I do it every morning. A simple handheld frother does the trick. I don’t add sweetener but sometimes I add cinnamon or vanilla. A smaller container is key, I use a stainless milk frothing pitcher purchased on Amazon. And for those who are dairy free, I have done this with the “barista” version of oatmilk, several brands make it. It doesn’t hold its foam as long as milk but it still works.

Made this this morning and it’s great. I used the ingredients as written and a small milk frother. Better than Starbucks.

I’ve done this with half and half (along with simple syrup and a splash of vanilla extract) in a Nespresso Aerochino and it turned out great. Super easy. For the question on simple syrup - you can purchase it ready made, but can simply make it by dissolving sugar in hot water then letting it cook. I’m not sure the exact proportions, but you can Google that.

I small French press plunger moved up and down rapidly is a very effective frother, it can also be placed in the microwave to heat milk prior to frothing when making a caffe latte. This can remove the need for an extra piece of kitchen equipment.

I use a tablespoon of maple syrup instead of simple syrup and it tastes great. Maybe a drop or two of vanilla as well, and I even tried adding a tiny bit of salt for the “salted caramel” version. So delish and saves me so much money!

Just use half and half instead of milk and cream if you have it — even easier

its an amazing recipe i didnt have syrup in the first try and made it with honey its still really good. I would suggest adding cinnamon to get a cinnamon cold foam :)

Half & half is beautiful, but melts quickly. Sweetness (one pump toriani) is lost once it incorporates into the coffeeWill try whipping more/less to re-test

I made a version that replaced the simple syrup with a sugar-free Salted Caramel Syrup, which was phenomenal!

My milk frother died and I found shaking ingredients in a small mason jar produced good results. The addition of milk to the cream keeps it from becoming butter too quickly, so long as you watch it carefully shaking in a jar or co*cktail shaker works.

I will make it with 1/2 tbs next time instead of 1 tbs, better, less sweet. I used sugar cane syrup, my favorite sugary suggestion for cold coffee. It goes very well indeed.

In my experience, half & half doesn’t work.

I just made this and poured it over my homemade iced coffee. Yummy!

I used my Keurig foamer to make this and it turned out great. It doesn't immediately melt into my drink like the Starbucks kind does. I cut back on the sugar but I may try the full Tbsp of simple syrup next time. Has anyone tried Torani instead of simple syrup?

This recipe alone will save me hundreds this summer !

I made this with the same proportions but 5x everything with a little vanilla and put it in my big aeroccino and it was still milky with just some froth on top, even after run it twice. I used it with earl grey tea and made a London fog which was nice but to get the cold foam do you think I need less volume or less container? Thanks!

Wow!!! Just made this to use with our homemade cold brew. Delicious!

Made with Hazelnut syrup. So good!

Made this with Maple Syrup instead of simple because New Hampshire. Magical morning coffee upgrade.
