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

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

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.

• To make the vanilla cold foam vegan, substitute the heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and a plant-based milk.
• Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of syrup in the drink and sugar in the foam.
