Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- 1 pinch salt (optional, for balance)
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese. This helps to loosen the texture and make the mixture fluffy.
If desired, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light, airy, and smooth. This should take about 3–4 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning as desired. Add a little more powdered sugar or salt if necessary.
Transfer the whipped cream cheese to a serving dish, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Spread it on bagels, toast, or crackers, or use it as a dip or dessert topping.
