Description
This Vegan Cold Foam is a super easy way to take iced coffee to the next level while staying dairy free. The perfect topping in seconds!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tablespoons High Protein Soy Milk (see Note 1 for explanation/alternatives)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Maple Syrup, Optional
- 1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract, Optional (see Note 2 for alternatives)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small 8 oz glass, add the soy milk as well as the maple syrup and vanilla extract if using.
- Froth: Using a hand milk frother, stick the end into the liquid, turn it on, and begin making a bobbing up-and-down stirring motion with the tool. This will force more air into the liquid. The mix should begin to foam in a few seconds of this process. It should take at most 30 seconds for it to become light and airy.
- Add to Drink: Gently pour or spoon on the foam on top of your drink. Be sure to use quickly before it deflates!
Notes
- Note 1: Protein is key. Be sure to check the nutritional facts of any milk before buying it to try for this recipe. Please note we've only tested it with high protein soy milk. Pea based milk often has similar amount of protein to soy milk. You may be able to find other types of plant-based milk to use that are fortified with enough protein too. A lot of soy milks come with about 8 grams of protein per serving and that should work. However, the Edensoy we used comes with 12 grams of protein per serving and it worked really well when foaming. Shelf stable soy milks tend to have more protein and less water content. Additionally, refrigerated plant milks can have additives and we haven't tested those so we can't say how well they would work in our vegan cold foam recipe.
- Note 2: You could always add some spices to your foam! Some cinnamon or hazelnut would be good. You could also (carefully, just use a drop or two because other extracts are stronger than vanilla extract) try other extracts, like peppermint or chocolate. You could even sift in a pinch of matcha for a nice green color. There are so many possibilities!
