Equipment

  • Electric hand and mixer
  • spatula
  • Measuring cups/spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Few drops vanilla extract - optional

Instructions

  • Soften the cream cheese to room temperature.
  • Heat the milk in the microwave until warm, then add the sugar to the warm milk. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Next, add the sweet milk mixture to the cream cheese, vanilla, and pinch of sea salt. Whisk until the cream cheese mixture is very smooth.
  • Take the heavy whipping cream and whip with the electric whisk until it starts to get airy and a little fluffy. The whipping cream should just barely stick to the whisk. The whipped cream doesn't need to be stiff.
  • Fold in the cream cheese mixture using the spatula. For a few seconds, whisk it all in smoothly to fully incorporate the cream cheese. The texture should be pourable (add a little more milk if the consistency needs to thin and whisk again till smooth).
    Chill in the refrigerator for half an hour before using.
