Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
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.
