Elevate your desserts and snacks with this luscious Creamy Fruit Topping, the perfect blend of tangy and sweet flavors paired with an irresistibly airy texture. Made with just four simple ingredients—cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream—this quick, no-cook recipe comes together in just 10 minutes. The key to its decadence lies in folding freshly whipped cream into the smoothly beaten cream cheese mixture for a light, pillowy finish that complements everything from fresh fruit platters to pancakes, waffles, or even cakes. Versatile, easy to make, and absolutely dreamy, this Creamy Fruit Topping is a delightful addition to any breakfast, brunch, or dessert table!
Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften if it's not already.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture on low speed at first to avoid a sugar cloud, then increase to medium speed and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat it with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This can take about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the airy texture.
Transfer the Creamy Fruit Topping to a serving bowl or use it immediately over fresh fruits, pancakes, or desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
