How to make Dunkin’ Marshmallow Cold Foam
Dunkin’ Marshmallow Cold Foam is a sweet, marshmallow-flavored cold foam topping made by frothing milk or cream into a light, airy texture and adding marshmallow flavoring. It is served on top of iced drinks to give them a creamy, fluffy finish and a hint of marshmallow sweetness.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 ml) cold heavy cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) cold milk (2% or whole milk)
- 1–2 tablespoons marshmallow syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup for a dessert-like finishing touch.
Equipment Needed
- Milk frother (handheld or electric) OR a blender
- Measuring cups/spoons
- Mixing bowl or frothing pitcher
- Iced coffee or cold brew to top with foam
Instructions for Making Marshmallow Cold Foam
- In a bowl or frothing pitcher, combine the cold heavy cream, cold milk, marshmallow syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Tip: Cold ingredients yield better foam, so keep everything chilled in the fridge until needed.
- Use a handheld milk frother, electric frother, or blender:
- Milk Frother: Place the frother at the bottom of the bowl/pitcher and slowly move it up and down until the foam thickens and doubles in volume (around 30–60 seconds).
- Blender: Blend on medium-low for 30 seconds until the foam is light, airy, and fluffy.
- Consistency Marker: The foam should form soft peaks when you lift the frother or spoon it out—thicker than liquid but still pourable.
- Prepare your base coffee drink: Fill a glass with ice and pour in your brewed cold brew, iced coffee, or iced latte. Leave about 1–2 inches of space at the top for foam.
- Gently spoon or pour the marshmallow cold foam on top of your drink.
- If you’re feeling extra fancy, garnish the foam with:
- A dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon.
- Crumbled graham crackers for a s’mores vibe.
- A drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup.
- Enjoy sipping your sweet treat! The foam will slowly sink into the coffee, sweetening and softening it as you drink.
Tips for Perfect Marshmallow Cold Foam
- Cold cream and milk whip up fluffier foam. For an extra boost, chill your bowl or frothing pitcher in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before starting.
- Over-frothing can create overly dense, stiff foam that’s closer to whipped cream and doesn’t pour nicely onto your coffee. Aim for soft peaks that are creamy but light.
- The marshmallow syrup adds both sweetness and flavor. Start with 1 tablespoon, then adjust to your taste. If you love it sweeter, add a little extra syrup.
- For thicker foam, increase the heavy cream to milk ratio (e.g., ⅓ cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons milk). For lighter foam, do the opposite.
- Try adding a touch of caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, or chocolate syrup in addition to the marshmallow syrup for a customized flavor blend.
- Use non-dairy alternatives like coconut cream or oat milk (look for the barista versions for better frothing). Combine with a splash of unsweetened almond or soy milk and marshmallow-flavored syrup.
