What Is Coffee Mate Cold Foam?

Coffee Mate cold foam is a flavored creamer-based froth designed to float on top of cold drinks adding body, sweetness, and visual appeal. Unlike steamed milk foam, cold foam is unheated and aerated at a lower temperature, typically between 1–4°C.

“Cold foam acts as both a flavor conductor and a visual element, giving cold coffee drinks a rounded mouthfeel and a layered finish.”

Most recipes use Coffee Mate liquid creamers due to their stable fat and sugar ratio, ideal for frothing. Popular flavors include:

• Vanilla

• Hazelnut

• Caramel

• Coconut Creme

Cold Foam Tips from the Experts

• Use only chilled liquids: Room-temp creamers don’t aerate well

• Avoid over-frothing: You want soft peaks, not whipped cream

• Layer first, sip second: Cold foam is meant to float, not mix

• Stirring optional: Stir to sweeten the cup; leave unblended for a layered effect
