Ingredients
To make creamy vanilla cold foam from scratch, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- The heavy cream and milk give the cold foam its unique fluffy, creamy texture.
- I used vanilla paste, but you can also use vanilla extract or even vanilla syrup.
- You can use any sweetener you prefer, such as granulated sugar, brown sugar, or alternative sugar. If using a liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup, you will need to mix the ingredients a little bit longer.
For the full list of ingredients and measurements, see the recipe card below.
How to Make Vanilla Cold Foam

Step 2: Taste and add more sweetener if needed. If it’s too thick, add more milk. Pour vanilla cold foam on top of your drink of choice and enjoy!
