Strawberry Cold Foam: Creamy Café-Style Topping at Home

trawberry Cold Foam on iced coffee in a clear glass

This Strawberry Cold Foam is a creamy pink café-style topping made with real strawberries, cold cream, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup. Spoon it over iced coffee, cold brew, matcha, chai, or dessert drinks.

Ingredients

Scale

3 large fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

1 tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or vanilla syrup

2 tablespoons heavy cream, very cold

2 tablespoons milk, very cold

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tiny pinch of fine salt

Ice and cold brew, iced latte, matcha, chai, or milk tea, for serving

Instructions

1. Mash the strawberries with maple syrup in a small bowl until juicy.

2. For a smoother foam, press the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a tall jar.

3. Add heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the strawberry syrup.

4. Froth with a handheld milk frother for 20 to 35 seconds, until thick, airy, and still pourable.

5. Fill a glass with ice and your favorite cold drink.

6. Spoon the Strawberry Cold Foam over the top and serve right away.

Notes

For a no-frother method, add all foam ingredients to a lidded jar and shake hard for 60 to 90 seconds.

For a dairy-free version, use canned coconut cream and oat milk.

If the foam feels too thick, add 1 teaspoon milk. If it feels too thin, add 1 teaspoon heavy cream.

Use seedless strawberry jam when fresh strawberries are not available.
