Angel Milk Recipe

We’re ready to bet you’ve never heard about Angel Milk before or assumed such a thing even existed. And yet here you are 一 on the Angel Milk recipe page. 

Jokes aside, Angel Milk is the latest TikTok recipe made of steamed milk. Vanilla extract and sugar. It is sweeping TikTok and flooding kitchens worldwide since it is a sweet, warm drink no one can resist. Even you, trust us.

This Angel Milk recipe will make a difference if you plan on having chocolate cookies for dessert. 

How to Make Angel Milk

What you’ll love about Angle Milk before even making it is the ingredients list. Like many other TikTok recipes, it includes ingredients you already have.

Besides, Angel Milk is ready in about 3 minutes or less, so you can make this tasty beverage on any occasion. Make it warm when you’re winding down to bed, or dress it with some sprinkles to serve at brunch.

Once you try it, you can expect to be hooked since it resembles a Vanilla Steamer from Starbucks.

Although it might seem like you don’t even need to measure the ingredients of the Angel Milk recipe, you need to know the right measurements.

Ingredients:

(1 serving)

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp of granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1 drop of pink food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

If you want to be quick about it, you must fill your favorite mug with milk and add as much sugar and vanilla as you like. Then steam the milk or heat it in the microwave and done. 

But it won’t be as good as the one you see on TikTok since there are some process tips everyone overlooks. 

The best advice is obviously to use the espresso machine to get that beautiful foam topping you can dress with sprinkles as they do on TikTok. But that’s not a common option for many of you.

Instead, you can pour the milk into a mason jar with a lid and shake the jar vigorously until the milk is frothy and doubles in volume. It won’t take you longer than 30-60 minutes, but the result won’t be less satisfying than with the espresso machine. We assure you.

Alternatively, heat the milk on a stove and use the handheld frother to get the frothy consistency.

Now, let’s sum things up.

Step 1: 

Heat the milk to 165°F in a saucepan. It should not be bubbling. Then steam and froth it with any of the methods described above. 

Step 2: 

Combine vanilla and sugar in a large mug. Stir in the steamed milk while holding the foam back with a spoon.

Step 3:

Top Angel Milk with the froth and garnish if desired.

Note: although food coloring and sprinkles are optional, they jazz up the drink and make it party-ready. It is a great way to surprise your kids with an unusual drink. (perfect way to sneak in some milk if you ask)

Ingredient Substitution

You’d be surprised, but even such a short list of ingredients allows you to experiment. It is a dairy-based drink, which puts lactose intolerant people at a disadvantage. 

We’ll show you anyone can enjoy Angel Milk. Check out these substitutes to amplify the flavors of this TikTok drink.

1. Coconut Milk

Although fully-fat milk yields the best results, the goal is to make Angel Milk’s recipe suit everyone. So if you don’t want to use cow milk, you can use any plant milk substitute. We like coconut milk the best.

Coconut milk has a creamy texture and a sweet and subtle coconut flavor. It contains ⅓ of the calories of regular milk, significantly fewer carbohydrates and protein, and half less fat! Can you imagine that?

Even if you’re not lactose intolerant, coconut milk is an excellent substitute if you’re on a diet. Almond milk or oat milk fall under this category too.

2. Almond Extract

If you run out of vanilla extract, which is unlikely, use almond extract instead. It certainly has more potent than vanilla, but the same flavor profile is still maintained. The nutty flavor of almond extract will work great for this cozy drink.

However, you might need to use half the almond extract required for vanilla since the taste could become bitter. If you use this substitute, remember to use it sparingly and significantly when scaling up the recipe.

3. Maple Syrup

Maple syrup is one of the most common substitutes for granulated sugar that serves as a great sweetener. It adds an exciting taste and sweetness suited for the Angel Milk recipe. 

Unlike other baked goods, there is no need to mix maple syrup with baking soda for the right texture. For this milky drink, you can substitute it in a 1:1 ratio.

What to Serve with Angel Milk

Could there be anything better than a perfectly rendered foam rising from the cup’s rim with Angel Milk? There is. You can never resist dunking some cookies into the hot, foamy milk to make the most of it. 

Thank being said, you can never go wrong pairing Angel Milk with something sweet. Luckily we have some ideas.

Peanut Butter Crank

If you’re a cookie maniac like us, you must try the peanut butter crank, which brings many childhood memories. Not only is it nourishing for balancing cholesterol, but perfect for overcoming snack cravings.

It is a healthy treat with chunks of crispy nuts and creamy butter you can make in less than half an hour. Moreover, vanilla-flavored Angel Milk will provide a nice contrast if you use salted peanut butter

Anti-Crabby Cake

Angel Milk is simple, yet it releases many flavors when paired with the right kind of dessert. How about something fruity? Yes, you’ve got it right anti crabby cake is a fruity, sweet, and moist dessert with nothing to do with crabs. 

It is a light and decadent cake that comes together in minutes and contains everything that a regular cake does. However, crushed pineapples and juice are crucial to making this traditional cake stand out. 

A cup of hot milky drink will complement the refreshing flavors of the pineapple dessert.

Chocolate Cheesecake 

We’re all used to dipping chocolate chip cookies into warm milk since it is an ultimate comfort combination. But we feel like stepping aside from that tradition will help you discover other outstanding pairings like chocolate cheesecake

It is rich, creamy goodness with slightly acidic flavors that require some steps. However, every effort is worth it. The silky texture of the chocolate cheesecake melts in your mouth. Add Angel Milk, and this combo will take you to food heaven.

How to Reheat Angel Milk

Since milk is the main ingredient of Angel Milk, you have to follow the same reheating practices you apply for milk. However, since Angel Milk takes minutes to whip up, we don’t recommend storing much of it for later

It is not recommended to reheat steamed milk twice. Still, if you have some Angel Milk left and don’t dare to throw it away, here’s how you can reheat it.

Reheat Angel Milk in the Microwave

If you want to reheat Angel Milk in a microwave, heat it on medium to high power for about 1 minute and stir every 15 seconds. Keep heating until the steam begins to rise.

Reheat Angel Milk on a Stove

You can reheat Angel Milk the same way you heated it to start. If you follow the instructions from this Angel Mlk recipe, you can reheat it in the saucepan. Just remember to stir regularly. Or use a heat-proof bowl suspended above the boiling water.

How to Store Angel Milk

Angel milk can perfectly sit within a day until you decide to reheat it. However, a fridge is the only option best suited for this. 

Store Angel Milk in a glass container with a lid for no longer than 24 hours. However, it is always best to whip it up anew. 

If you considered freezing Angel milk, forget it. It won’t be the same after thawing.
