- Dark roast coffee - Heavy cream - Caramel sauce - Sugar - Vanilla extract - Sea salt For dark roast coffee, choose a blend with rich flavor. A good brand is Peet's or Starbucks. They both have dark roast options that work great. For caramel sauce, I recommend using Ghirardelli. It is rich and smooth, perfect for this recipe. If you want a lighter option, you can use half-and-half or coconut cream instead of heavy cream. For sugar, consider using honey or a sugar substitute like Stevia if you want fewer calories. To brew dark roast coffee, start with fresh, coarsely ground beans. Use a coffee maker or pour-over method. Measure one tablespoon of coffee for every six ounces of water. Boil the water and pour it over the coffee grounds. Let it brew for about four minutes. After brewing, you need to cool the coffee. Place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This chilling step helps keep your drink refreshing. You can also let it sit at room temperature until it cools. In a mixing bowl, gather your ingredients: heavy cream, caramel sauce, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Start by combining them well. Use a whisk or an electric mixer for the best results. Whip the mixture until you see soft peaks form. This means the foam is light and fluffy but still pourable. Be careful not to over-whip, or it will turn to butter. Grab a glass and fill it with ice cubes. Pour the cooled dark roast coffee over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full. Next, take your cold foam and gently spoon it on top of the coffee. For the final touch, drizzle caramel sauce over the foam. This makes your drink look nice and adds extra sweetness. Enjoy your Dark Roast Caramel Cold Foam! Check out the Full Recipe for more details. To achieve the best cold foam, start with cold ingredients. Use heavy cream straight from the fridge. This helps the foam whip up nicely. Use a whisk or an electric mixer. If using a mixer, start at a slow speed. Gradually increase the speed. You want to create soft peaks, not stiff ones. Soft peaks will keep your foam light and smooth. Common mistakes include over-whipping the cream. This can turn your foam into butter, which is not what you want. Another mistake is not using a cold bowl. A warm bowl can make it harder to whip. For best results, chill your bowl before mixing. You can add fun flavors to your cold foam. Try hazelnut or chocolate for a twist. Simply mix in 1-2 teaspoons of flavoring when preparing the foam. You can also adjust the sweetness. If you like it sweeter, add more sugar or caramel sauce. Taste as you go to find your perfect level. For a great presentation, use a clear glass. This shows off the layers of coffee and foam. You can also drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top. It not only adds sweetness but looks beautiful too. Pair this drink with breakfast treats like muffins or scones. It also goes well with desserts like brownies or cookies.

Brew your dark roast coffee and chill it. Use ice in your glass before pouring. This keeps your drink cool and refreshing. You might add a splash of milk for creaminess. For extra flavor, try a hint of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg. You can easily make this drink vegan. Use almond or oat milk instead of heavy cream. Both alternatives whip up nicely. For the caramel sauce, look for brands that are dairy-free. Products like coconut cream also work well. They add a rich texture without dairy. Want to celebrate the seasons? In fall, add pumpkin spice for warmth. A sprinkle of cloves or allspice brings a cozy feel. In winter, try a peppermint extract. Just a drop can make it festive. You can also use warm spices like ginger or nutmeg to bring seasonal cheer. To keep your cold foam fresh, store it in an airtight container. This helps maintain its texture. Place it in the fridge right after making it. Cold foam stays good for about 2 days. After that, it may lose its fluffiness and flavor. For brewed coffee, store it in a clean, sealed container. Glass or stainless steel works best. Avoid plastic, as it can alter the taste. Brewed coffee lasts up to 3 days in the fridge. Always check for a stale smell before using it. When reheating coffee, use low heat on the stove. This keeps its flavor strong. You can also use a microwave, but do it in short bursts. Stir between each burst to heat evenly. Avoid reheating coffee more than once, as it can taste burnt. Dark roast caramel cold foam is a delightful coffee drink. It combines rich dark roast coffee with airy, sweet foam.
