Cream Cheese Jelly Milk Tea – A Boba Tea Series

January 18, 2018 By Victoria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s been a while with the boba or bubble tea trend, so you might have heard or even try them. The trend is still hot, or cool for this year, and guess what, it’s even better to try it now. So easy to make, get your kids or teen in for help and they’ll enjoy it even more.

Cream cheese jelly milk tea

The drink is just the normal milk tea, enhance with your choice of flavor. I used Jasmine buds cause that what’s I have on hand, but you can choose anything, or skip that. What’s make this drink so fun and attractive is all the topping variation.

There are loads of topping that would go good with milk tea. Fresh fruits like strawberry, kiwi, grape, avocado, dragon fruit, jack fruit…are perfect pair. Then there are complements like dark boba (pearl bubble), crystal pearl, jelly noodle, coconut jelly, etc. and now it’s the cream cheese jelly. They all could go together as a blended fun drink, or single handy.

To make good cream cheese jelly, I used cream cheese wedge original Swiss flavor from laughing cow. That was the brand that I grew up with, and now they’re making more and more flavors and in cubed style too. You could pick just any flavor or use your favorite cream cheese block.

Another note is on the jelly. There are many types that you probably familiar with. One is Agar Agar powder, those usually sold in a small packet of telephone brand. Then there’s the normal jelly powder where you would use to make jello. Here’s the thing, Agar tends to make firm/crispy block and hold shape quite well. Jelly powder, when cooked, tends to be more flexible, pliable, and easy to sip through a straw.

So for this cream cheese jelly, we would want something that is soft, pliable to go through the giant straw, yet whole it shapes with all the beautiful colors. That’s why I do a mix of about 7 to 3 of agar and jelly powder. You would need a kitchen scale for precise measurement, as these powder will give large quantities different when mixed with water.

Another note is on the jelly/jello flavors. Since cream cheese is cheesy (of course), we would want the jelly taste to be mildly sweet with a hint of bitter (coffee, chocolate, cocoa) or sour (orange, lemon…) to balance them out. Our milk tea already sweet with condensed milk, so surely these contrast flavored jelly would stand out and give a perfect balance.

So, for the next fun party, try these drinks enjoyment for the kids and teenagers.
