Brewing Instructions


  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

Pro 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
