Chocolate Cold Foam Transforms Your Morning Coffees

Though cold coffees topped with a whipped layer of chocolate may sound like something only a professional barista might be able to muster, we are here to help make weekday mornings more enjoyable with simple coffee recipes. Turn your standard cup of iced Joe into a more elegant affair with silky, frothy layers of chocolate cold foam. You don't need to head to the coffee shop to enjoy a drink topped with this decadent, creamy accouterment.

Whether you prefer an iced Americano, iced latte, or a cold brew to start your day, chocolate cold foam can add a sweet finish to your favorite cold coffee drinks. Whipping chocolate sauce with cream and milk together texturizes the three ingredients to create a velvety, creamy combination that settles in nicely on top of your drinks. Slowly, your foamy creation will seep into your iced coffee so you won't need to add extra milk or creamer to enjoy a deliciously creamy beverage. Even an espresso martini cocktail can be polished off with this foam. As an added bonus, this easy addition couldn't be simpler to make.

Fancy coffees aren't only served at coffee shops

Froth milk, cream, and chocolate sauce in a French press or with a handheld frother and be on your way to topping off your drinks in minutes. For a bit of a workout, you can shake the ingredients together in a carefully sealed mason jar. Use heavy cream to make the fluffiest cold foam, or add milk or a milk substitute of your choice to thin the foam out. Once you've mastered the basic recipe, you can flavor your cold foam creations with new flavors with hazelnut and vanilla extract. Pumpkin pie spice can quickly be added to a vanilla sweet cream cold foam recipe for a seasonal treat, or try splashing coconut extract into the chocolate cold foam for a rich finish.

As tempting as it might be to add chocolate cold foam to a steaming mug of coffee, note that the foam will melt instantly so you won't get to enjoy the spongy texture you worked hard to create. Garnish your coffee creations with chocolate flakes or dustings of cocoa powder, and you'll have a sweet drink that is sure to start the day with serious pep — without having to leave your house.
