    And no, there’s no eggs in an egg cream recipe. The egg part of the name simply references how light and frothy it is. Almost like a meringue or egg white based cocktail.

    Serve along with Whipped Coffee Foam Iced Lattes and a fun mimosa recipe for a great Easter spread!

    Ingredients

    • Raspberry syrup – easy to make your own from fresh raspberries, sugar and water.
    • Fresh raspberries
    • Orange juice – or pineapple juice
    • Cream – half and half, or substitute whole milk or coconut milk.
    • Seltzer water – do not open the seltzer water until ready to pour to ensure the most carbonation possible.

    Step by step instructions

    1. Chill glasses. Using cold glasses to make egg creams ensure the most creamy frothiest cold foam possible.
    2. Make raspberry syrup by combining raspberries with equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium high heat. Reduce to simmer and cook until sugar has dissolved and raspberries are soft. Blend in blender, food processor or hand blender and strain to remove seeds. Cool. Stored covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
    3. Make a pink ‘raspberry’ juice from a mixture of raspberries and orange juice. Or you can substitute pineapple juice for extra tropical fruit flavor and even more frothy foam. Simply blend and strain to remove raspberry seeds and store refrigerated for up to three days.

    Make ahead

    To make this brunch recipe ahead of time simply combine syrup, juice and cream in a large pitcher and stir. Refrigerate. Top with seltzer to serve.
