- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Whip cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency that forms a luxurious foundational cream.
- Cream Transformation: Vigorously beat heavy cream with a whisk attachment until developing soft, voluminous peaks that create an airy, cloud-like texture.

Notes
- Smooth Cream Cheese Technique: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and blend thoroughly to eliminate lumps, creating a silky, luxurious base for the dip.
- Whipping Cream Precision: Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, being careful not to overbeat, which can cause graininess and compromise the dip’s delicate texture.
- Gentle Folding Method: Incorporate whipped cream using careful, light folding motions to preserve the airy, cloud-like consistency and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Chilling Recommendation: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavor melding and allow the texture to set perfectly.
