Step-by-Step Method
Soften the cream cheese
Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl. If it’s at room temperature, it will blend smoother; beat for 1–2 minutes.
Mix in the sugar
Add the sifted powdered sugar. Beat in short bursts until the mixture looks smooth and lump-free.
Add cream and whip gently
Pour in the cold heavy cream gradually. Beat on medium speed until it’s fluffy and spreadable; stop once it holds soft, creamy peaks so you don’t overwhip it.
Chill and serve
Cover and chill for 15–30 minutes to help it thicken. Serve with scones, pancakes, waffles, or fruit.
