Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (full fat or light)
  • 1 cup milk (whole, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce (or regular caramel plus a pinch of sea salt)
  • Sweetener to taste (sugar, honey, or maple syrup, optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Extra caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Brew a strong cup of coffee or pull two shots of espresso. Let it cool, or use cold brew.
  2. In a blender or with a milk frother, combine softened cream cheese and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add salted caramel sauce to the milk mixture. If using regular caramel, add a pinch of sea salt. Blend or stir well. Taste and add sweetener if desired.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  5. Pour the chilled coffee or espresso over the ice.
  6. Slowly pour the caramel cheesecake milk mixture over the coffee and ice, allowing the layers to swirl.
  7. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with extra caramel sauce. Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt if desired.
  8. Stir gently or leave layered. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

For best results, soften cream cheese before blending. Chill coffee ahead to prevent watered-down drinks. Use dairy-free milk and cream cheese for a vegan version. Adjust sweetness and coffee strength to taste. Prep the cheesecake milk mixture in advance for quick assembly.
