✅ Ready in: 15 minutes prep + chill

✅ Serves: 4-6

✅ Texture: Light, creamy, mousse-like

✅ Flavors: Vanilla, sweet cream, optional fruit or coffee twist

🍽️ Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream (chilled)

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 100 g cream cheese (softened)

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

  • Optional:

    • Crushed cookies or graham crackers (for base or topping)

    • Fruit compote, fresh berries, or jam

    • 1 tsp instant coffee (for a mocha twist)

    • Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish

🧁 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Base

In a bowl, beat the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer (or whisk) until soft peaks form.

Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat until combined and creamy.

Step 3: Combine

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in batches, until fully incorporated and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble

  • Optionally layer crushed cookies or fruit compote in serving glasses.

  • Spoon or pipe the creamy mixture on top.

  • Garnish with cocoa, berries, or chocolate shavings.

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set (longer = firmer texture). Serve chilled.

❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Can I use yogurt instead of cream cheese?
A: Yes! Use thick Greek yogurt (strain it further if needed) for a tangier, lighter version.

Q2: Is it very sweet?
A: It’s mildly sweet. You can reduce or skip the powdered sugar if using sweetened condensed milk.

Q3: Can I freeze this?
A: Yes! It turns into a creamy frozen treat – like no-churn ice cream. Just thaw 5–10 minutes before serving.

Q4: Any dairy-free alternatives?
A: Use coconut cream (chilled overnight and whipped) and a vegan cream cheese alternative. Sweeten with maple syrup or agave.

Q5: What flavors work best?
A: Try:

  • Lemon zest + berry compote

  • Espresso + cocoa powder for a mocha vibe

  • Mango puree + cardamom for a tropical version

💡 Tips

  • Always chill your cream before whipping for best results.

  • For extra structure, add 1 tsp of gelatin (bloomed in warm water) into the cream cheese mix.
