This Strawberry Boba Tea with Cheese Foam recipe is a refreshing, creamy drink that combines fruity green tea, chewy tapioca pearls, and a rich layer of cheese foam on top. Created by Alyssa Wang, this recipe blends two popular Taiwanese beverage trends into one fun and flavorful treat.
Bubble tea originated in 1980s Taiwan, when tea shop owner Liu Han-Chieh added tapioca pearls to his drinks, creating an instant hit. Cheese tea followed in the 2010s, quickly rising to global popularity thanks to its unique savory-sweet cheese foam and social media buzz. This recipe brings both together in one vibrant, indulgent cup.
How To Make Strawberry Boba
To make the strawberry boba portion of this tea, start by muddling fresh strawberries with a bit of sugar in a glass to release their juices. Add boba pearls, ice, and green tea, then stir to combine. This creates the fruity, tea-based foundation of your drink.
How To Make Cheese Foam
To make cheese foam, whisk together cream cheese, sugar, and salt, then stir in milk until smooth. Separately, whip heavy cream until medium peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a thick, pourable foam. Add a little more milk if needed to adjust the texture.

To make cheese foam, whisk together cream cheese, sugar, and salt, then stir in milk until smooth. Separately, whip heavy cream until medium peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a thick, pourable foam. Add a little more milk if needed to adjust the texture.
1. Combine cream cheese, 1-2 tablespoons sugar (to taste), and salt; whisk together. Add milk and stir until fully combined. (If using block cream cheese, as opposed to whipped, this helps loosen it and incorporate it smoothly.)
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form.
Assembling The Boba Tea
1. Add whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and combine. It should be a thick but pourable consistency. If it’s too thick, gradually mix in milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until it reaches the desired foamy consistency.
2. Start making your drink by muddling together strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar (to taste) in a cup.
3. Add your toppings, ice, and green tea. Stir to incorporate the strawberries with the green tea.
4. Top it off with the cheese foam as desired and garnish with boba pearls.
