Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (cold, straight from the fridge)
- 2 tbsp pistachio cream (cream of pistachio or pistachios butter)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp sugar, honey, or maple syrup (optional, depending on your pistachio cream’s sweetness)
- Iced coffee or cold brew – for serving
Instructions
- 1
Cold foam whips best when everything is cold. I like to place my mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 minutes before starting.
- 2
In your chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, pistachio cream, vanilla extract, and sugar (if needed).
- 3
Use a handheld milk frother, a whisk, or even an electric mixer. Froth until the mixture thickens into foam. You’re looking for a soft, pourable texture—airy but not stiff like whipped cream.
- 4
Fill a glass with ice, then pour in your cold brew or iced coffee.
- 5
Spoon or slowly pour the foam over the coffee. Watch as it floats on top, creating that café-style layered look.
- 6
You can stir lightly to mix the pistachio flavor through the drink or sip as is for that perfect blend of coffee and creamy foam in every mouthful.
