Ingredients
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup half-and-half
1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
Add the heavy cream, half-and-half, granulated sugar, and vanilla bean paste to a small mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer, milk frother, or whisk, whip the mixture for about 1 minute.
Continue mixing until the foam becomes frothy and slightly thickened, with a texture similar to melted whipped cream.
Spoon or pour the cold foam over your favorite iced coffee, cold brew, or chilled espresso drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
For Make-Ahead Storage
Combine all ingredients and store them in a covered jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Before using, whisk or shake the mixture well, as natural separation may occur.
Froth only the amount needed for the day to maintain the best texture.
Notes
Vanilla bean paste provides a richer flavor and visible vanilla specks compared to vanilla extract.
A handheld milk frother works perfectly for creating a light and airy foam.
Separation during storage is normal; simply whisk before frothing.
For dairy-free alternatives, substitute with your preferred dairy-free cream and milk options.
Delicious on iced coffee, cold brew, iced lattes, and iced chai tea.
