whipped cream

🥗Healthier: coconut whipped cream

💰Cheaper: heavy cream

Coconut whipped cream is dairy-free and lighter.

Start with 16 ounces of softened cream cheese, preferably brick style, full fat.

Measure out 1 cup of powdered sugar, adding approximately half to the cream cheese.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of lemon or lime juice to the mixture.

Use an electric mixer on low speed to cream everything together until smooth and fluffy.

Add sour cream to the mixture for depth of flavor and mix until lump-free, checking for lumps with a spatula.

In a separate bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add the remaining powdered sugar.

Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which will take a couple of minutes.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently with a spatula until fully incorporated.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with fresh fruit for dipping.
