Ingredients
- ¾ cup 2% milk or dairy/non-dairy alternative of your choice
- 1 ½ oz toasted coconut syrup store-bought or homemade with recipe linked
- Ice
- 2 oz espresso or very strongly brewed coffee
- ⅓ cup ube coconut cold foam recipe below
- Toasted coconut flakes for topping
Ube Coconut Cold Foam
- 3 tablespoon ube powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup 2% milk
- 2 tablespoon toasted coconut syrup store-bought or homemade with recipe linked
Instructions
- Add milk and toasted coconut syrup to an ice-filled cup and stir gently.
- Slowly pour espresso over the top of the ice.
- Top with ube coconut cold foam and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over foam.
Ube Coconut Cold Foam
- In a small bowl, mix together ube powder and granulated sugar. This is your sweetened ube powder.
- Add cream, milk, toasted coconut syrup, and 1 ½ tablespoon sweetened ube powder to a mason jar (or other airtight container) and shake vigorously. Or mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined. This is your ube coconut cold cream... Keep it in the fridge until you're ready to turn it into cold foam right before using.
- To turn into foam, you can either use an electric frother, hand mixer, or blender with ⅓ cup mixture at a time. Alternatively, you can shake the mixture vigorously in a mason jar until it's frothy.
Notes
- Leftover sweetened ube powder can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Cold foam recipe should make enough for about 3 drinks. Turn it into cold foam in batches and keep the leftover sweet cream in an airtight container in your fridge until ready to use.
- If you're making your own toasted coconut syrup, use this recipe.
- If you want your cold foam to have a more bold purple color, I recommend adding a little ube extract or purple food coloring. You could also simply add a little more ube powder.
