I love coffee flavored foods. My favorite ice cream flavor, coffee. My favorite cookies are coffee flavored, my favorite drink is coffee. There is something about the combination of bitter and sweet. The aroma alone is enough to make me come running. I decide that I wanted to make a coffee flavored cream cheese to spread on my english muffins in the morning. I mean what goes better with coffee, then coffee? I have to say that I wasn't expecting much from this recipe, but I wowed myself. This is the most delicious flavored cream cheese I have EVER tasted. As soon as you open the container the coffee aroma hits you, then when you taste it it literally tastes just like coffee ice cream, but creamier! Pure perfection! Although I used this as a spread, you can also use it as a dip. If you let the cream cheese sit out and become room temperature, the consistency becomes softer and creamier and easily becomes a dip. Think dessert dip! Dip chocolate wafers in it, dip fruit in it, add chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture for some more texture. The ideas are endless!
Cappuccino Cream Cheese
Start by mixing the cream cheese in a mixer till it is a creamy consistency. Add in a 1/4 cup of powder sugar and 3 tbs instant expresso. Mix till well combined.
Place in a covered container and refrigerate for a thicker consistency for spreading on breads or muffins or put in a bowl to use as a dessert dip. Sprinkle with coffee grinds or mix in chocolate chips for a bit of texture.
