Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 oz block cream cheese (full fat), softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Slowly add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese while continuing to beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Heavy Cream and Vanilla: With the mixer running on medium-low, slowly pour in the chilled heavy cream. Add the vanilla extract, then increase the speed to high and whip the mixture for about one minute until it thickens slightly, creating a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Chill the Dip: Transfer the cheesecake dip to a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly and develop its rich flavor.
  5. Serve: When ready to serve, top the dip with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit or cookie crumbles, and serve alongside fruit slices or cookies for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending and a smooth texture.
  • Use chilled heavy cream for best whipping results to achieve a fluffy dip.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with berries, graham cracker crumbs, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve chilled and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
