Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil or coconut oil (optional for extra fat)
- Sweetener (optional): Stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit to taste (adjust according to your preference)
- Pinch of salt (optional, enhances the flavor)
Instructions:
1. Whip the heavy cream:
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip it on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter.
2. Mix the cream cheese and butter:
In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them until smooth and creamy. If you find the mixture a bit thick, you can soften the cream cheese and butter further by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds, then mixing.
3. Add sweetener and vanilla (optional):
If you’d like to sweeten the dessert, add your preferred sweetener to taste. If using vanilla extract, add it at this stage. Stir everything together until it’s well combined and smooth. A pinch of salt can be added to bring out the flavors as well.
4. Combine the whipped cream with the cream cheese mixture:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful to keep the whipped cream light and airy, as this will give the dessert its smooth, fluffy texture.
