This Starbucks Copycat Chocolate Cream Cold Brew is smooth, chocolatey, and topped with a rich homemade cold foam made from heavy cream, whole milk, cocoa, and malted milk powder. It comes together in minutes and tastes just like your favorite coffee shop order—without leaving the house.

Ingredients

For the cold foam:

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 2 tsp malted milk powder
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

For the cold brew:

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

For the cold brew:

  • In a glass or cocktail shaker, combine cold brew coffee, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract and 1 cup of ice. Stir or shake until the sugar dissolves.
    Note: I like to pour the cold brew, sugar, and vanilla over ice in a cocktail shaker and shake it for 10–15 seconds until lightly frothy and chilled—it adds a smooth, aerated texture. But you can absolutely just stir everything together right in the glass if you prefer.

For the cold foam:

  • In a small cup or frothing pitcher, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, powdered malted milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Use a handheld frother or small blender to froth the mixture for 15–30 seconds until it thickens into a silky, pourable foam.
  • Pour the shaken or stirred cold brew into a glass of ice. Spoon or pour the chocolate cold foam on top. Serve immediately with a straw or sip lid.
