Step 1

To a large bowl* or the bowl of your stand mixer, add heavy cream, and beat until stiff peaks form. If using a stand mixer, transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a second large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, and lemon juice or vanilla extract. Beat until well-mixed and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed.

Step 3

Use a spatula to fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 4

Serve and enjoy!
