Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cold foam base
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream Use very cold heavy cream for faster whipping and a stable foam.
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp apple pie spice
  • 1 tbsp milk Helps loosen the foam and improve froth texture.
Serving
  • 1 Iced coffee or cold brew For best results, pour over ice right before topping with foam.

Equipment

  • 1 milk frother

Method
 

Make the apple crisp cold foam
  1. Combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, apple pie spice, and milk in a jar or frother cup.
  2. Froth using a milk frother or shake vigorously in a sealed jar for 30–45 seconds, until light and foamy.
Assemble the drink
  1. Fill a glass with ice and pour in your favorite iced coffee or cold brew.
  2. Spoon the cold foam over the top, letting it float on the surface.
  3. Dust with an extra pinch of ground cinnamon, if desired.
  4. Stir gently before sipping to combine, or enjoy the foam layered on top.

Notes

For the quickest, stablest foam, start with chilled heavy cream and froth/shake until you see a thick, airy texture. Store any leftover foam in the fridge for up to 24 hours, then re-shake briefly; freeze is not recommended. Dietary swap: use a barista-style oat milk instead of milk and reduce foam thickness is expected, but the spice flavor will still come through.
