How to Make Whipped Cream Cheese From a Block

Elevate regular homemade whipped cream with the addition of cream cheese! From Erica Kastner of Buttered Side Up.

I'll bet just reading the title of this post made you say, "Cream cheese whipped cream? WHY haven't I thought of this before?!"

It's such a simple addition, but oh, is it ever lovely. The cream cheese makes the whipped cream even thicker, and that bit of tang wakes up your taste buds.

You'll need just 5 ingredients: cream cheese, cream, lemon zest, vanilla, and maple syrup.

Start by beating the cream cheese and maple syrup together until smooth. If you do this step first, it helps cut down on any clumps in the final product.

Next, you want to add the cream gradually. Pour in 1/4 of it and beat until completely smooth. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 additions.

This part is optional, but I really like the flavor of lemon zest in cream cheese whipped cream. It plays really well with the sharp cream cheese.

Oops, got some on my hand!

One of the simplest ways to enjoy cream cheese whipped cream is with fresh berries. You could either use it as a dip, or dollop it on top and eat with a spoon. Such a simple, fresh dessert!

Cream cheese whipped cream makes a really nice crepe filling as well. This totally counts as a balanced breakfast, right?

You can even use it to frost a cake! It's not as stable as a buttercream frosting, but it's so easy. If you make sure to eat the cake right away or refrigerate it, it should be just fine.

Another idea (that I haven't tested out yet) is to top grilled peaches with cream cheese whipped cream. Talk about the perfect end to a BBQ! Or you could serve it with brownies, strawberry shortcake, blueberry cobbler … the ideas are endless!

NOTES:

1. You could totally sub orange zest for a slightly different flavor profile. It would pair nicely with chocolate.

2. Keep in mind that cream cheese whipped cream gets thicker in the refrigerator. This is perfect if you're serving it on top of something warm since it won't melt quite as quickly.

3. You can increase the amount of cream cheese for an even thicker and tangier whipped cream.
