2 tbsp Irish cream syrup

2 tbsp, softened cream cheese

3 tbsp heavy cream

Tips

Make ahead : Cold brew concentrate can be made 3-5 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator
Foam consistency : If cream cheese mixture is too thick, add cream 1 tsp at a time. If too thin, add more powdered sugar
Temperature matters : Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing - microwave for 10-15 seconds if needed
Layering technique : Pour cold brew slowly over the back of a spoon to create distinct layers
Alcohol option : Add 1/2 oz Irish whiskey for an adult version
Sweetness adjustment : Taste and adjust Irish cream syrup to your preference

Method

1

Prepare cold brew concentrate : Steep coarse ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours, then strain (or use pre-made cold brew concentrate)

2

Make cheesecake foam : In a small bowl, whisk softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy

3

Assemble the drink : Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour 1/2 cup cold brew concentrate over ice

4

Add Irish cream : Stir in Irish cream syrup until well combined

5

Top with cheesecake foam : Gently spoon the cream cheese mixture on top, creating a thick layer

6

Garnish : Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the foam for that authentic cheesecake experience

7

Serve : Present with a straw and spoon for mixing and enjoying the creamy layers

Barista note: Taste before adjusting — a small change in grind, dose, ratio, or time usually makes the biggest difference.
