Description

Adapted from this Stella Park’s recipe. I use a slightly different method: I beat the cream cheese and sugar first; then add the heavy cream. And I use slightly more cream, too. 


Ingredients

  • 8 oz  (226 g) cream cheese, cold
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 3/4 cup (187 g) heavy cream
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Beat the cold cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. 
  2. Add the heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla. Beat again until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  3. Taste. Adjust with more heavy cream, if desired, and beat again to lighten. I often add a pinch more salt, too.
