Cream cheese recipes don’t have to be just spreading it on toast or making a cheesecake, although both are absolutely delicious.
Cream cheese is actually very versatile in the kitchen if you give it a chance.
The creamy texture of cream cheese makes it perfect for incorporating and mixing into your dishes. And the deliciously rich, fatty and slightly tangy flavour gives whatever you pair it with a wonderful creamy tang.Today I’m going to share 6 cream cheese recipes you can make in 15 minutes tops.

CREAM CHEESE TEA
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 4-6
100ml milk
200ml whipping cream
200g cream cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
100g sugar
Your tea of choice (hot or cold)
DIRECTIONS
1. First brew your tea and let it cool down and place it in the fridge if you want a cold beverage. If you want your tea hot then make your cream cheese topping first and brew your tea last instead.
2. Grab a mixing bowl and place your cream cheese inside. Mash your cheese until it’s softens, before adding your sugar and salt. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and fully incorporated. (you may want to use an electric whisk for this part, if you do then use a low speed to avoid over whipping)
3. Next, slowly add the milk into your mix and gradually whisk at a faster speed until you start to see your cream cheese mix get slightly foamy on the surface.
4. At this point, you’ll want to add in your whipping cream and continue to whisk until you get medium soft peaks.
5. Grab your tea, and then scoop your cream cheese topping on top to complete your very own cream cheese tea just like the bubble tea shops.
