Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (approx 200 grams) full-fat cream cheese (block or spread)
- ½ – 1 tablespoon milk (½ tablespoon for spread cream cheese, 1 tablespoon for block cream cheese)
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: If using a cream cheese block, place it at room temperature for about 1 hour to soften. This step is not needed if you are using the spreadable cream cheese.
- Prepare for Whipping: Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl. You can use an electric hand beater, a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or a food processor for this process.
- Add Milk and Whip: Add the milk (use ½ tablespoon if using cream cheese spread or 1 tablespoon if using block cream cheese). Beat the mixture on the highest speed possible for 2-3 minutes or until the cream cheese is light and fluffy. During whipping, pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even whipping.
- Use or Store: Once the mixture appears airy and resembles frosting, it is ready to use immediately. Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Optional Variations: You can customize your whipped cream cheese by stirring in your favorite add-ins such as herbs or spices. Note that if you add fresh garlic, it’s best to consume the mixture within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- The cream cheese block must be softened at room temperature to whip properly.
- Use the appropriate amount of milk based on whether you use block or spread cream cheese.
- Scraping the bowl during whipping improves texture and fluffiness.
- Store whipped cream cheese in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- When adding fresh garlic or perishable add-ins, consume within 3-4 days for safety and best taste.
