Ingredients

  • 3 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 tablespoon milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream cold

Instructions

  • Cream the cream cheese. In a small bowl, add the cream cheese, evaporated milk, powdered sugar and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Beat the heavy cream. Add cold heavy whipping cream and whisk until thick, frothy with soft peaks. Be careful to not overwhip it may curdle.
  • Serve. Serve on top of cold drink of choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Thoroughly mix your room temperature cream cheese. Make sure to whip up your room temperature cream cheese with the other ingredients until it is smooth and has no more clumps. Having the cream cheese at room temperature allows you to mix the cream cheese with ease and fully incorporate the other ingredients.
  • Use cold heavy whipping cream. Using cold heavy whipping cream allows the whipped cream to foam up easily.
  • Don’t over-whip! Whip the heavy cream mixture on low to be able to closely monitor the texture of the cheese foam. You want the final texture to be thick, foamy, with medium-soft peaks. You know you have over-whipped the mixture if it starts to look like cottage cheese.
