Cream Cheese Filling
This cream cheese filling is smooth, rich, and incredibly tasty. Whether you’re filling a cake or serving it with fresh fruits, this recipe is sure to impress. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (about 1 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
Instructions:
- Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture until it’s well combined and fluffy. Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese remaining.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will add a lovely lightness to your filling.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to combine carefully so that you don’t deflate the whipped cream. The goal is to maintain that luscious lightness.
- Once fully combined, taste your filling. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more powdered sugar to suit your taste!
- Transfer the cream cheese filling to a piping bag if you want to pipe it into your cakes or pastries. Alternatively, you can simply spread it with a spatula.
- Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour before using it. This will help it firm up slightly, making it easier to work with.
Now, you have a delicious cream cheese filling ready to go! This filling is perfect for layer cakes, cupcakes, or even served alongside fresh fruits for a delightful treat. Enjoy your baking, and don’t forget to share your creations!
