Ingredients

Cream Cheese Foam

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon pistachio cream

Matcha Latte

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pistachio cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

  1. Make the Cream Cheese Foam: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese and 1 tablespoon sugar until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons heavy cream and whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon pistachio cream until just combined, creating a creamy and fluffy topping.
  2. Prepare the Matcha Base: In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder with 1 tablespoon hot water. Use a whisk or frother to vigorously mix until the matcha is fully dissolved and slightly foamy.
  3. Add Milk and Flavor: To the matcha mixture, pour in 3/4 cup whole milk. Then add the remaining 1 tablespoon pistachio cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Stir or froth well until all ingredients are smoothly blended and creamy.
  4. Add Ice: Fill a glass halfway with ice cubes and pour the matcha milk mixture over the ice, allowing it to flow naturally around the cubes to chill evenly.
  5. Top with Foam and Garnish: Spoon the prepared cream cheese pistachio foam on top of the iced matcha latte. Lightly dust with additional matcha powder for a beautiful and flavorful garnish.

Notes

  • Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • Room temperature cream cheese helps achieve a smoother foam.
  • Adjust sugar levels to taste depending on your preferred sweetness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with almond or oat milk and coconut cream, respectively.
  • Garnish with crushed pistachios for extra texture and flavor if desired.
