What is Cream Cheese Foam Coffee?
Cream Cheese Foam Coffee is a delectable drink that combines the richness of cream cheese, sweetener, whipping cream, half and half, and a hint of sea salt, creating a luscious and decadent foam.
This velvety foam, often times called a cheese cap or milk cap, is elegantly layered atop freshly brewed coffee, resulting in a delightful contrast of creamy and frothy textures.
It’s a popular coffee beverage found in Taiwanese coffee shops and boba shops, offering a unique and indulgent coffee experience.

What are the instructions to make cheese coffee?
To prepare delicious Cheese Coffee, begin by combining cream cheese and sweetener in a bowl, then whisk them together using a hand or stand mixer.
Next, incorporate sea salt, half and half, and heavy cream into the mixture, continuing to blend until a thick and frothy consistency with stiff peaks is achieved.
Finally, brew your iced coffee and generously spoon the creamy and frothy cream cheese foam mixture on top for a delightful and indulgent coffee experience.
Pro Tip – sip the drink straight from the cup without using a straw, don’t stir the cream cheese foam.
Extra Flavors – feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture for some extra flavors.

Great recipe! I tried to make 1 serving in my ninja single smoothie blender and it did NOT work out but I’m excited to try it again with a hand mixer
Hey Susie! Happy to hear you liked the recipe! Yeah, a blender probably won’t ‘aerate’ the heavy cream to foam it up.
The batch of cream cheese foam. How long will it last in the fridge ?
Hello Myrna! It will last around 3-4 days.
many boboa shops call this a “Milk Cap” I personally was unaware how easy it is to make, so thank you for the recipe and instructions!
Hey Kristen – didn’t know that! Thanks for the info and you are welcome!
I LOVED THIS! I am a crema boba fan and a starbucks salted caramel cream fan and this hit the spot. AND it’s low carb!
I made a 1/2 batch since I didn’t want too much leftover. Husband approved! We dipped strawberries into all the leftover foam and it was delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Hey Ann – So glad you enjoyed the recipe and you are very welcome! Thanks for the comment!
