If you’re a fan of sweet, indulgent coffee drinks, welcome to my newest obsession – the toasted marshmallow cold foam. It’s that rich, velvety foam that sits atop your iced coffee, adding a creamy texture and a touch of sweetness while also reminding you of sitting around a campfire staring at the stars. The best part? It’s super easy to recreate this cozy, campfire-inspired treat at home.
Here’s how to make toasted marshmallow cold foam for your coffee, and trust me, it’s as delicious as it sounds.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cold milk (any milk will work, but whole milk gives the creamiest foam)
- 2 tablespoons Torani Toasted Marshmallow Syrup (this is the secret ingredient!)
- Ice (for your iced coffee)
- Brewed coffee or espresso (make sure it’s chilled if you’re making iced coffee)
- Optional: Whipped cream, chocolate syrup or graham cracker crumbs for garnish
Equipment:
- Milk frother (a handheld frother, electric frother, or even a jar with a tight lid – I prefer an electric frother hands down)
- Glass (for serving your coffee)
- Small mixing bowl (if you’re making the cold foam by hand)
Instructions:
1. Make Your Coffee Base
Start by brewing your coffee or espresso. If you’re making iced coffee, allow it to cool slightly before pouring it over ice. You can use any coffee of your choice—whether it’s a bold espresso or a smooth cold brew—depending on your flavor preferences.
2. Froth the Cold Foam
In a separate bowl or cup, combine the cold milk and Torani Toasted Marshmallow Syrup. You’ll want to use a frother to create that signature airy, creamy foam. If you’re using a handheld frother, simply insert it into the milk and froth until it thickens and forms a frothy texture. It should take about 30 seconds to a minute.
If you’re using a jar, pour the milk and syrup into it, close the lid tightly, and shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds. When you open the lid, the milk should be frothy and ready for your coffee!
The best way to get that super foamy, velvety cold foam is an electric frother, and you won’t be able to convince me otherwise. It’s also the easiest – just pour in the milk and syrup and let it do it’s thing.
3. Assemble Your Drink
Fill a glass with ice and pour your chilled coffee or espresso over it. Then, gently spoon or pour the toasted marshmallow cold foam over the top. You’ll notice the foam sits beautifully atop the coffee, creating that perfect layered look.
4. Optional Garnishes
For an extra touch, you can drizzle a little more Torani Toasted Marshmallow Syrup on top or add a swirl of whipped cream. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, a drizzle of chocolate syrup or sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs could bring the whole toasted marshmallow vibe up a level to full s’more.
5. Sip and Enjoy!
That’s it! You’ve now got a deliciously creamy, sweet, and toasty treat that rivals any café drink, all made at home.
Tips for Perfect Toasted Marshmallow Cold Foam:
- Experiment with Milk Alternatives: If you’re vegan or dairy-free, feel free to substitute oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. Keep in mind that non-dairy milks may not froth as thick as dairy milk, but you can still achieve a lovely foam with a good frother.
- Adjust the Syrup to Taste: The amount of Torani Toasted Marshmallow Syrup can be adjusted depending on how sweet and marshmallow-y you want your foam to be. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- Chill Your Coffee: The key to a refreshing iced coffee is to use cold coffee! Make sure your brewed coffee or espresso has cooled down before combining it with the cold foam, so your drink stays refreshing and delicious.
Toasted marshmallow cold foam is the ultimate coffee treat to cozy up with. Super easy to recreate this sweet, creamy goodness right at home—no need to make a special trip to the coffee shop (where you’re lucky if they even have a marshmallow syrup!). So go ahead, treat yourself to this fun twist on cold foam, and enjoy your new favorite coffee drink!
