  • Publication number: 20060073256
    Abstract: Self-foaming, liquid creamers including a first liquid component including an edible acid component, and a second liquid component comprising an edible salt, each liquid being shelf-stable and being operatively associated so that when the first and second liquids are combined carbon dioxide evolves to assist in providing the foam so that, when the liquid creamer is combined with the beverage, a portion of the creamer melts or disperses in less than about 20 seconds in the beverage to impart a creaming flavor and whitening color to the beverage with the remainder of the creamer forming a foam having a density that is less than that of the beverage so as to reside on top of the beverage as a visible foam layer, and methods of making foamed beverages therewith. The amount of foam generated in the beverage is dependent on the overrun of the foaming liquid creamer.
