Notes
Thoroughly mix your room temperature cream cheese. Make sure to whip up your room temperature cream cheese with the other ingredients until it is smooth and has no more clumps. Having the cream cheese at room temperature allows you to mix the cream cheese with ease and fully incorporate the other ingredients.
Use cold heavy whipping cream. Using cold heavy whipping cream allows the whipped cream to foam up easily.
Don’t over-whip! Whip the heavy cream mixture on low to be able to closely monitor the texture of the cheese foam. You want the final texture to be thick, foamy, with medium-soft peaks. You know you have over-whipped the mixture if it starts to look like cottage cheese.
