It seems that Cold Coffee (either Cold Brew or Iced Coffee) is all the rage today. Add a sweet, foamy topping that sits perfectly on top of the coffee and you have a picture perfect and delicious cup of joe. If you are sick of standing in the coffee line and spending $$$, try this coffee shop copycat recipe.
Cold Brew is coffee that has slowly steeped in cold or room temperature water for a minimum of 12 hours. The coffee grounds are then strained. The coffee can be served chilled, over ice or at room temperature with milk and/or sweetener. This results in a coffee that is smoother and less acidic with more caffeine than regularly brewed coffee.
Cold Foam is a creamy, dairy topping for cold drinks. This frothy topping is the equivalent of steamed milk that is used on hot drinks except that it is cold and does not melt into your drink. It is made by frothing the dairy into a light and airy layer. This foam layer sits directly on top of your coffee providing a fun look with a sweet topping.
Level of Difficulty: Simple! After combining the ingredients, it only takes about 30 seconds of frothing to make the perfect cold foam at home.
Flavor: This cold foam has a sweet and nutty taste thanks to the peanut butter powder and sugar.
Time: Making Peanut Butter Cold Foam at home will take you less than 5 minutes!
Help! I don’t have a milk frother. No need to worry. You can use a French press. Simply add your ingredients to the French press and press up and down until you reach your desired cold foam consistency.
Alternatively, use a whisk and bowl. Add ingredients to a small bowl and quickly whisk together until the desired consistency is reached. I found that chilling my bowl for a few minutes in the freezer helps the foam to form quicker.
In my experience, I have achieved the best cold foam texture and consistency in the shortest amount of time using a milk frother. Here is the one that I use.
Store cold foam in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you find that your cold foam has deflated or lost some of its foamy consistency, add cold foam back to glass and froth again.
Can I flavor my Cold Foam? Yes, you can flavor your cold foam by using flavored syrups, powders and spices (such as cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, etc.).
What else can I put Cold Foam on? Cold foam can also be used on matcha tea, iced hot chocolate or any cold drink. Adding cold foam to a hot drink would result in the cold foam melting into the drink and can be used as creamer.
Do I need ice in my coffee for the Cold Foam to float? No, you do not need to have ice in your coffee for the cold foam to float. The cold foam has a stabilized consistency that allows it to layer directly on your coffee. However, if you like ice in your coffee for an extra chill, add the ice!
Can I make Peanut Butter Chocolate Cold Foam? Yes, simply add cocoa powder to the peanut butter powder to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Cold Foam!
What are other uses for Peanut Butter Powder? Peanut Butter Powder is very popular in smoothies because it adds the peanut butter taste and protein without the extra calories. Peanut Butter Powder can also be used in oatmeal and baking.
