Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted (or thawed frozen cherries)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, strong and chilled
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) milk or milk alternative (whole milk or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt for syrup

Instructions

  1. Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: Combine ½ cup brown sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Let simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Prepare the Cherry Vanilla Cold Foam: In a blender, add 1 cup pitted cherries, ¼ cup small-curd cottage cheese, ¾ cup milk or milk alternative, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend on high for 30-40 seconds until smooth and frothy with light pink airy bubbles.
  3. Assemble the Iced Coffee: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 cup cold brew coffee over the ice. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar syrup, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  4. Top with Cold Foam: Spoon or gently pour the cherry vanilla cold foam over the iced coffee to create a layered look.
  5. Serve and Sip: Use a straw or long spoon to mix a bit before drinking to enjoy the creamy, fruity, and sweet flavors mingling perfectly.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for creamier foam. Chill milk and cherries before blending for better foam stability. Avoid overblending to prevent runny foam. Brown sugar syrup can be stored refrigerated up to 2 weeks. For dairy-free foam, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu or thick coconut cream.
