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.

  1. 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.

  2. The batch of cream cheese foam. How long will it last in the fridge ?

  3. 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.
