Ingredients

Full Batch
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar sifted*
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vanilla extract
Single Serving
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ½ ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) powdered sugar sifted
  • ⅛ teaspoon lemon juice or vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large bowl* or the bowl of your stand mixer, add heavy cream, and beat until stiff peaks form. If using a stand mixer, transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.
  2. In a second large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, and lemon juice or vanilla extract. Beat until well-mixed and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed.
  3. Use a spatula to fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  4. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • *For a less sweet whipped cream, cut the sugar by about ⅓.
  • To substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar, use ¼ cup granulated sugar for the full batch or 2 teaspoons for a single serving. 
  • *If whipping the cream by hand, chill the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting. This will help your cream whisk up a little faster and more easily.
  • *Use a smaller bowl to make the single-serving whipped cream. You will need to use a handheld electric mixer or a whisk and arm power to make a single serving because a stand mixer is unable to process an amount this small.
  • Storage: Store leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The whipped cream will firm up considerably once chilled because of the cream cheese.
