VARIATIONS: Make this cold foam unsweetened if you prefer it that way. If you prefer cold foam plain omit the vanilla. Use a different extract to create different flavors - mint, almond, and so on. Use store-bought sweetened syrups to flavor the cream.
TOP TIPS: Make sure the cream is very cold before frothing. Whipped cold foam does not store well.Only whip what you will need. You can make the sweetened and flavored cream ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days, then froth when you are ready to serve.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Top off any iced drink or coffee. Serve it over fruit for a dessert, add it to smoothies, make a cocktail and serve over iced liqueur. Make salted caramel cream or honey almond milk cold brews.
