Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew with Vanilla Cold Foam Recipe

Introduction

This Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew with Vanilla Cold Foam is a delightful twist on your regular iced coffee. The sweet, smoky flavor of toasted marshmallow syrup combined with creamy vanilla foam makes it a perfect treat for warm days or whenever you need a cozy pick-me-up.

A tall clear glass is filled with three main layers: the bottom layer is dark coffee with rich brown swirls mixing into the middle creamy white layer, creating a marbled effect; the top layer is thick white foam with a smooth texture and three light brown toasted marks arranged in a smiling face pattern. A shiny gold metal straw is inserted on one side of the glass, leaning slightly outwards. Nearby, three small white marshmallows rest on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted marshmallow syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Ice
  • 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons 2% or whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in 1 cup of cold brew coffee.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 tablespoons of toasted marshmallow syrup and stir well to blend the flavors.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl or cup, combine 1/4 cup cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup if using.
  4. Step 4: Froth the cream mixture using a handheld frother or whisk quickly by hand until thick and fluffy but still pourable, about 20–30 seconds.
  5. Step 5: Gently pour the vanilla cold foam over the cold brew. Let it sit on top or give it a light swirl. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon or toasted marshmallow bits for extra flair.

Tips & Variations

  • Use homemade toasted marshmallow syrup for a richer, fresher flavor or substitute with simple syrup and a drop of marshmallow flavoring.
  • For a dairy-free version, try coconut cream instead of heavy cream and your favorite plant-based milk.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the cold foam for a warm spice twist.

Storage

Cold brew coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Prepare the vanilla cold foam fresh before serving for best texture. Leftover foam is best consumed within a few hours and may separate if stored overnight. Reheat cold brew gently or enjoy it chilled.

How to Serve

A clear glass sits in the center filled with large, white marshmallows sitting on top of a creamy white liquid with some light brown swirls mixing into the liquid from the marshmallows. Behind it are four glass containers: a tall one with dark coffee, a small one with light brown syrup, another with white cream or milk, and a pitcher of white milk. In front of the glass with marshmallows is a small clear bowl filled with dark brown liquid, and a white ramekin filled with granulated white sugar. All the items are placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular coffee instead of cold brew?

While you can use chilled brewed coffee, cold brew has a smoother, less acidic profile that pairs especially well with the toasted marshmallow syrup and foam.

How do I make toasted marshmallow syrup at home?

Toast marshmallows until golden brown, then melt them with equal parts sugar and water over low heat until dissolved, strain to remove solids, and cool before use.
