🍓 Ingredients

Here are a few things to keep in mind while gathering the ingredients.

• Freeze-dried strawberries – The water and moisture are removed, concentrating the strawberry flavor and bright pink color. When ground into a powder, it’s a great way to flavor cold foam with bright berry flavor and pigment.
• Heavy whipping cream – Make sure your heavy whipping cream is very cold for the fluffiest cold foam.
• Simple syrup – For a bit more sweetness.
• Recommended Tools: To pulverize the strawberries into a powder, you need a high-speed blender or food processor. For the cold foam, you’ll need an electric frother or a stick frother and a mason jar or tall, durable container.

1️⃣ Step One: make strawberry powder.

First, add your freeze-dried strawberries to a high-speed blender or food processor and grind them into a fine powder.

Then, add cold heavy whipping cream to your electric frother. If you’re using a stick frother, add the cold heavy whipping cream to a mason jar (or tall durable container like a cocktail shake or tumbler). Then, pour in the simple syrup and froth the mixture for 30 seconds.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Save your fresh strawberries for snacking and smoothies. This cold foam technique only works with dried strawberry powder.
• To intensify the flavor, add just a drop of pure strawberry extract. A little bit goes a long way.
• Aldi, Trader Joe’s, and Walmart always seem to have freeze-dried strawberries stocked in the same section as the raisins and dried fruit. In your local grocery store, check the snack aisle, canned fruit aisle, or the outskirts of the produce aisle.
• No worries if you don’t have a high-speed blender or food processor! Freeze-dried strawberries are delicate and are easy to crush by hand. Add to a resealable bag, seal the bag closed, then grind with a rolling pin or a heavy mug.
• If you froth everything at once, the strawberry powder tends to clump, so froth the cold foam in two stages. Froth the cream and simple syrup first, and then add the strawberry powder and froth to combine.

🍵 Variations

Let’s talk switching up and serving.

• Flavored simple syrup – Add another layer of delectable flavor. Instead of simple syrup, use vanilla simple syrup, and your cold foam will taste like a strawberry shortcake! Make with brown sugar syrup for richer-caramelized flavor.
• Cool and creamy topping – Frothed cold, instead of hot, this cold foam is the perfect way to finish cold brew coffee, this 3-ingredient pink drink, frozen matcha lattes, iced white mochas, and more!
• Make creamy drinks – Stir the foam into refreshing, iced beverages like tea, coffee, and strawberry acai lemonade,
• Vegan strawberry cold foam – While frothing your vegan cold foam, add one tablespoon of strawberry powder at a time until it is as berry-flavored and pink as you prefer!
