Equipment

  • Handheld milk frother
  • Frothing cup or small glass

Ingredients
 

  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 tbsp cookie butter (such as Biscoff spread)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Give very thick cookie butter about 5–10 seconds in the microwave. Look for a slightly softened, pliable consistency rather than a hot liquid.
  • Add the milk, heavy cream, cookie butter, and optional vanilla to a small glass or frothing cup. The spread should be soft enough to blend into the dairy.
  • Aerate with a handheld milk frother for about 20–30 seconds. Stop at a thick, creamy consistency that remains pourable rather than stiff.
  • Fill a serving glass with ice and your chosen iced coffee, cold brew, or iced latte. The drink should be ready to receive the topping.
  • Tip the frothing cup gently to release the foam over the coffee in a slow stream. Aim for a creamy layer across the surface rather than one heavy dollop.
  • Enjoy the finished drink immediately. The topping should still have its freshly frothed, airy texture.

Notes

Ingredient tip: Choose smooth cookie butter over crunchy spread for a silky topping, and briefly soften very firm spread in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds so it blends evenly without leaving dense streaks.
Texture tip: Stop frothing once the mixture looks uniform pale tan and pours in a slow, thick ribbon; if you accidentally froth it until stiff, gently whisk in a small splash of milk to loosen it.
Equipment tip: If you do not have a handheld frother, aerate the mixture using a clean French press, a tightly sealed mason jar with room to expand, or an electric hand mixer in a small bowl.
Serving tip: Have your ice and coffee in the glass before pouring the foam so the layer stays intact, and froth right before serving rather than storing premixed foam.
