Ingredients
Blender Method Ingredients
- 3 strawberries, rinsed and dried, stems and leaves removed
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (sugar, stevia, agave, honey, or preferred sweetener)
No Blender Method Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: For the blender method, rinse and dry 3 strawberries, removing stems and leaves. For the no blender method, measure out strawberry jam according to preference.
- Blend Strawberry Foam Ingredients (Blender Method): In a small blender, combine the 3 strawberries, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until the mixture turns thick and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Taste and incorporate 1-2 teaspoons of sweetener to your liking, blending briefly to mix.
- Shake to Emulsify (No Blender Method): In a mason jar, add 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry jam, 3 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Seal the jar tightly and vigorously shake for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Alternatively, use a milk frother to achieve similar results. Taste and adjust sweetness or add more jam as desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the strawberry cold foam atop your coffee, tea, or dessert. Enjoy the fresh fruity flavor and creamy texture!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference by adding more or less sweetener.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural flavor in the blender method.
- The no blender method is a great quick alternative when you don’t have fresh strawberries on hand.
- Heavy cream can be substituted with a light cream or half-and-half, but foam may be less thick.
- Refrigerate any leftover foam and use within 1 day for best freshness.
