Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream cold
  • 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife for chopping strawberries
  • Cutting board
  • Coffee mug or glass
  • Spoon or small ladle
  • Fine-mesh strainer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Hull your strawberries by removing the green tops and any white core, then roughly chop them into chunks. Smaller pieces blend faster and more evenly.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into your blender first, then add the chopped strawberries and honey.
  3. Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds, watching carefully as the mixture transforms into a thick, mousse-like foam. Stop before the mixture separates or becomes grainy.
  4. Check the foam consistency. The foam should hold soft peaks and look creamy, with tiny strawberry flecks visible throughout. If it seems too thin, blend for another 10 seconds.
  5. Optional: For a silkier foam, gently pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove tiny strawberry seed particles.
  6. Brew your favorite coffee or espresso to your usual strength and temperature preference.
  7. Pour your hot or cold coffee into your mug or glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
  8. Using a spoon, gently scoop the foam and layer it on top of your coffee, building it up to create that beautiful crowned effect.

Notes

Make a double batch of foam and store it in an airtight container in your fridge for up to three days. Use the coldest cream possible straight from the refrigerator for best results. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained completely. The foam works beautifully with hot coffee, cold brew, iced lattes, or even sparkling water.
