Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk with low fat content, such as oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based heavy cream (such as coconut cream or a soy-based alternative)
- 1 small pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl or high-sided container, combine the almond milk, plant-based heavy cream, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Use a handheld milk frother or an immersion blender to blend the mixture on high speed. Blend for 1-2 minutes until the liquid becomes light and frothy with a creamy consistency.
If you don’t have an immersion blender or frother, you can use a high-speed blender or even a French press. For a French press, add the mixture to the press and pump the plunger vigorously until foam forms.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup, if desired.
Serve the vegan vanilla cold foam immediately by spooning it over iced coffee, cold brew, or your favorite chilled beverage.
For a fancy garnish, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or add a small drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
