What's the difference between cold foam & whipped cream? Whipped cream is generally made by literally whipping up heavy cream while cold foam is made by whipping up non-fat milk. Taking Starbucks as an example, they add a little vanilla syrup to both their cold foam and whipped cream toppers.

Add 1-2 pumps of vanilla syrup. In your blender cup, add heavy cream, milk, & 2-3 pumps of vanilla syrup. Blend. This is your vanilla sweet cream cold foam.
