Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice or vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese. Start by ensuring your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending.
  2. Step 2: Whip the Cream. In your mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the Cream Cheese. Once the cream has soft peaks, add the softened cream cheese and continue to whip until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Sweeten and Flavor. Sift in the powdered sugar, lemon juice or vanilla extract, and salt; gently fold until well combined.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days, giving it a gentle whisk before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version.
  • If you prefer a stiffer consistency, whip a bit longer, but avoid turning it into butter.
  • Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a seasonal twist.
