Equipment

Hand-held milk frother, optional
Ninja blender, optional

Ingredients

For the cold brew coffee:

12 ounces cold brew coffee
2 tablespoons vanilla simple syrup

For the pistachio cream cold foam:

¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup 2% milk
1 tablespoon vanilla simple syrup
2 tablespoons pistachio syrup

For the browned butter cookie topping:

2 tablespoons salted butter
¼ cup finely crushed butter cookies

Instructions

For the cold brew coffee:

Add 12 ounces of cold brew coffee and 2 tablespoons of vanilla simple syrup to a glass filled with ice, stirring to combine.

For the pistachio cream cold foam:

Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup 2% milk, 1 tablespoon vanilla simple syrup, and 2 tablespoons pistachio syrup in a ninja blender and blend on high for 10 – 20 seconds, or until thick and foamy. (This is the same as adding 2 tablespoons of pistachio syrup to ½ cup of my vanilla sweet cream recipe.)
Alternatively, you can use a hand-held milk frother to whip the cold foam in a separate glass or mason jar.
Pour the cold foam over your prepared cold brew and top with a sprinkle of browned butter cookie topping (recipe follows), if desired.

For the browned butter cookie topping:

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons salted butter over medium-low heat until butter begins to gently bubble.
When butter is bubbling, begin to gently swirl the pan, keeping the liquid moving. Bubbles will increase and butter will foam. As this happens, the water is evaporating and the milk solids are falling to the bottom of the pan.
As the milk solids fall, they will toast and become brown. Continue swirling pan until bubbling and foaming subsides. Remove from heat and immediately stir in ¼ cup finely crushed butter cookies.
Sprinkle a small pinch over your pistachio cream cold brew when serving.
Store leftover browned butter cookie topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
