Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use a full-fat cream cheese for the best taste and texture (avoid low-fat). Soften cream cheese inside of it’s packaging at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
Heavy whipping cream which has a higher fat content and will whip much easier. Avoid “whipping cream” or “light cream.”
Make Sure Heavy Cream is Chilled until ready to use. Cold cream will whip up better.
Don’t cut the sugar too much. We have tested with 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar which works but if you take out more, the texture will be affected.
