heavy cream
milk
strawberry syrup or strawberry puree
cream cheese, softened
powdered sugar
vanilla extract

optional:
crushed graham crackers

Directions

I start by adding the heavy cream, milk, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a bowl or frother.

I blend or whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened. Then I add the strawberry syrup or puree and mix again until the foam is light and fluffy.

I prepare my favorite cold coffee or iced latte, then gently spoon the cold foam on top.

If I want an extra cheesecake feel, I sprinkle a little crushed graham crackers over the foam before serving.

Variations
