Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 10β15 minutes to soften.
While the cream cheese is softening, rinse and pat dry the berries. If using strawberries, remove the stems and chop them into smaller pieces.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In the bowl with the softened cream cheese, add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract. Beat with the mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
If desired, add lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture for a hint of brightness.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated.
Fold in the berries last, being careful not to over-mix to maintain the whipped texture. If desired, mash some of the berries slightly before folding in to add color and flavor throughout the mixture.
Transfer the whipped berry cream cheese to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
