Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Lemon juice, fresh
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating continuously until fully combined and smooth.
Mix in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thick.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture in two or three additions, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
Once fully combined, spoon the Lemon Fluff into serving dishes or glasses. You can optionally add a layer of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom or sprinkle them on top as a garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set before serving.
Serve cold and enjoy your creamy, zesty Lemon Fluff!
