Brown Sugar Cold Foam | Dairy or Plant-Based Delicious Brown Sugar Whipped Toppings

The perfect brown sugar cold foam doesn’t exist, until now! Ever since Cold foam became a thing, we made it our mission to create the best cold foam recipes of various flavors. We’ve also tried some of the mainstream versions such as Starbucks, and Dunkin donuts and they are great. However in our opinion, they are a little lacking in the depth and complexity of brown sugar, its not just sweet, it should have hints of vanilla, and molasses, and be paired with a perfectly creamy base and topped with some sort of seasoning such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, etc. These flavors all combine to create the perfect brown sugar taste and as a cold foam are perfectly paired with a variety of drinks!

Brown Sugar is made with the addition of molasses, so its taste is similar but much milder. While Molasses is strong and sweet tasting and has notes of honey, vanilla, and a slightly smokey taste depending on what depth of molasses you get, the light version will be sweeter and much more subtle.

In our opinion, the perfect brown sugar recipes always feature a tiny bit of molasses, for example, this recipe has just the smallest hint of molasses to really boost the flavor profile of this cold foam to make it stand out against the rest of the boring brown sugar cold foam recipes you’ll find on the internet.

Brown Sugar Cold Foam Recipe calls for:

Try our Homemade Brown Sugar Syrup for this recipe!

• 1/8 teaspoon of molasses
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar syrup
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream
• 1 oz of milk of your choice – we prefer using 2% milk
• Sprinkle of ground cinnamon powder

How to Make Brown Sugar Cold Foam

1. Gather ingredients and place everything but the cinnamon powder into your choice of frother, if using a hand-held frother we like to place it in a small mason jar or taller cup for whipping as the foam will expand upward.
2. With a spoon, stir ingredients until combined, you’ll notice in the beginning that the sugar stuff went to the bottom and the milk is on top, you’ll want to combine everything so that is demarcation is less severe.
3. After combining ingredients, you can begin frothing with a hand frother. Froth until you begin to notice wrinkles in the mixture and the overall texture is thick and foamy but not completely whipped like whipped cream. If you are using a french press, you want to make sure the plunger can reach the middle of the mixture otherwise it will not froth, you also want to make sure not to overfill the french press because it will expand quickly. We do recommend using a French press for the best version of cold foams, but we hate the cleanup so always elect to use our handheld frother (we love it!)
4. After the cold foam is whipped to a small peak formation, you can now pour it on top of your favorite drink! We recommend on top of an unsweetened cold brew, the sweetness and creaminess of the cold foam will more than make up for the cold brew’s strength after being stirred in. After pouring out the mixture and smoothing out (if you want a pretty cold foam look) Top with cinnamon powder, we like to use a sifter for the perfect powder effect on our cold foams.

Recipe Notes:

• Cold foam mixture can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 48 hours before losing its consistency. we recommend using an airtight container and stirring the mixture before pouring over a drink.

Coconut cream or whole fat coconut milk in a can – Make sure whichever coconut version that you choose, that it is completely cold – refrigerate for at least 6 hours beforehand. The cold temp makes the mixture thicker and thus easier to whip up.

brown sugar syrup – brown sugar syrup is homemade preferably, we try to always use homemade ingredients when possible to save money and adjust sweetness, and eliminate nasty ingredients. Try our homemade brown sugar syrup recipe that is linked above for an easy go-to recipe!

vanilla extract – high-quality vanilla extract is a must.

Cinnamon, chocolate, or nutmeg powder – Ground Vietnamese cinnamon powder is our favorite, and don’t forget a sifter

Recipe Calls For

• 1/4 cup of cold coconut cream or 1/4 cup of cold whole fat coconut milk – the top portion of the can
• 1 oz of coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or any of your favorite plant-based milk

4. Frother unit wrinkles form on the surface and small peaks
5. Pour into your drink of choice and top with your favorite powder, we like to use cinnamon in ours

Recipe Notes

• Don’t forget to refrigerate your coconut milk or coconut cream beforehand, otherwise, your cold foam will not whip and will fall flat easily.
• Don’t add too much molasses, it’s a very strong ingredient and can quickly overpower the brown sugar taste. We recommend no more than 1/8 of a teaspoon for a tiny boost in flavor.
• You can swap brown sugar syrup with a sugar-free version of it by using a store-bought sugar-free brown sugar syrup such as Torani.
