WHAT IS CHOCOLATE COLD FOAM MADE OF?

Both Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks have a new cold foam this year, the chocolate cold foam! I've tried both and they are both so delicious that I just had to try to make it at home! I made my chocolate cold foam recipe with easy to find ingredients.

• Cold coffee (either cold brew, or brewed and cooled in the fridge)
• Heavy cream
• Milk of choice
• Cacao or cocoa powder
• Vanilla extract
• Sweetener of choice

I have also made my recipe even easier by simply whipping vanilla creamer with a bit of cacao powder and it was so delicious!

WHAT IS IN COLD FOAM?

Cold foam from Dunkin and Starbucks is made of frothed milk that is flavored with sweetener and extract. Cold foam is very similar to steamed milk in lattes, but is frothed without heat so you can add it on top of cold iced coffee and not have melted ice cubes. Plus it looks so pretty!

ASK THE DIETITIAN,

IS COFFEE GOOD FOR YOU?

Yes coffee can definitely be part of a healthy diet! As a dietitian, I believe if there is a food or drink that you love, it can always fit into a healthy diet! Coffee can be very healthy but can also be very unhealthy.

Coffee by itself is one of America's leading sources of antioxidants. Can you believe that? But it is! Coffee beans grow on trees just like any other bean and when you choose organic coffee and brew it black at home, it is good for you.. granted you stick to 1-2 cups a day.

When coffee becomes unhealthy is when we add too much sweeteners to it. So be very mindful of how much sugar is added to your coffee, especially when ordering popular drinks off the drive thru menu, which can have upwards of 50 grams of sugar per drink!

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COLD FOAM AT HOME!

Chocolate cold foam recipe for 1:

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons milk of choice
• ½ tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of choice

OR if you want a chocolate cold foam EVEN easier, try this:

• 4 tablespoons vanilla creamer (I did this with chobani vanilla coffee creamer)
• ½ tablespoon cacao or cocoa powder

STEP 1: MAKE THE CHOCOLATE COLD FOAM

In a glass or jar add all the ingredients for your chocolate cold foam, you can use the heavy cream milk mixture above or the vanilla creamer mixture. Both are equally delicious!

Use a hand held milk frother to beat the ingredients together until it is thick and frothy. If you do not have a milk frother, you can easily mix your chocolate cold foam ingredients in a small bowl with hand held beaters.

STEP 2: POUR AND ENJOY!

Fill a 16 ounce glass half way with ice cubes, or as much ice as you prefer.

Add 1-2 cups of cold coffee. You can add any sweetener to your coffee, but I prefer black coffee with my cold foam since the cold foam sweetens the coffee nicely.

Pour the chocolate cold foam slowly over top of the iced coffee.

That's it, enjoy! What Dunkin or Starbucks coffee copycat drink recipe should I try next?!
