vaahdotettua

Vaahdotettua is a Finnish term formed as the past passive participle of the verb vaahdottaa, meaning to foam, whip or aerate. The base noun vaahto means foam or froth, and the participle suffix -ttu or -tty/-ttu denotes a completed action. In use, vaahdotettua describes something that has been foamed or whipped, typically referring to a substance rather than the process itself.

In culinary and beverage contexts, vaahdotettua is common. It is used to describe milk, cream, or other liquids that have undergone foaming or aeration. For example, vaahdotettua maitoa refers to frothed milk, as used in coffee drinks like cappuccino or latte, while vaahdotettua kermaa denotes whipped cream. The expression often appears on menus or in recipes to indicate a prepared, foam-covered component rather than a plain liquid.

The form is versatile: it can modify nouns in various cases as a descriptive attribute, for instance in phrases like vaahdotettu maitovaahdon koostumuksesta or vaahdotettu kerma annoksessa, depending on grammatical context. The related nouns vaahto (foam), vaahdotus (foaming/whipping process), and the verb vaahdottaa are part of the same family and describe different stages or aspects of foaming.

See also: vaahto, vaahdotus, vaahdottaa. In Finnish usage, vaahdotettua is a neutral, factual descriptor found in cooking, café terminology, and recipe instructions, distinguishing foamed or whipped form from unfoamed liquids.
