What Is Cold Foam Creamer?

What Is Cold Foam Creamer?

Cold foam creamer is a chilled, aerated milk or milk-based alternative often sweetened or flavored that is poured over cold coffee beverages. Unlike standard cold foam, creamer versions often include added fats, syrups, or non-dairy emulsifiers to create a denser, richer foam with enhanced sweetness and creaminess.

“Cold foam creamer performs dual functions aromatic layering and flavor modulation while maintaining visual and mouthfeel complexity.”

Ingredients:

  • Optional: pinch of sea salt or cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Chill all ingredients beforehand (4°C or lower).

  2. Blend for 20–30 seconds using a handheld frother, French press, or electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Cold Foam Creamer FAQ

Can I make cold foam creamer without a frother?

Yes. A French press works well, pump 25–30 times until thickened. Mason jar shaking is an option but less consistent.

Is cold foam creamer healthier than whipped cream?

It can be. You control fat, sugar, and non-dairy ingredients. Use lighter creamers for fewer calories.

What’s the difference between cold foam and creamer?

Regular cold foam is often unsweetened and airy. Cold foam creamer is richer, sweeter, and usually includes fats.

Can I use flavored creamers?

Yes, just ensure they are cold and well-shaken before frothing. Avoid high-oil content, which breaks the foam.

How long does cold foam creamer last?

Best used immediately, but it can be stored for 24 hours in the fridge. Re-froth before serving.
