Here is the viral cream cheese cold foam you need to try for all your coffee drinks this summer!
Who knew making your own coffee-shop style cold foam could be this easy?!
If you’ve ever paid extra for cold foam at a coffee shop, you’re going to love this easy homemade version. The secret ingredient? Whipped cream cheese. It creates an ultra-creamy, velvety foam that’s rich, slightly tangy, and perfect for topping iced coffee, cold brew, protein coffee, or even iced tea.
Plus it gives your iced coffee a bit of a yummy cheesecake flavor!
Move over, Starbucks! We’ll be making our own fancy cold foam drinks now.
I will be sharing how to make a vanilla flavor perfect for any iced coffee drink, as well as a strawberry-flavored cold foam you can pour over chocolate milk or coffee! Turns out all you need to add is a bit of strawberry jam or strawberry syrup to flavor it.
I love a good cold foam drink, and have been buying the cold foam in a can, but honestly, this is super simple to make instead.
The one piece of essential equipment is an inexpensive frother!
A handheld milk frother is the secret to achieving that light, fluffy coffeehouse-style texture at home. In just a few seconds, it blends the whipped cream cheese and milk into a smooth, creamy foam that’s perfect for floating on top of iced coffee or cold brew.
Some other fun flavor add-ins to consider:
- Brown sugar cinnamon
- Caramel
- Pumpkin spice
- White chocolate
- Raspberry cheesecake
- Honey vanilla
