Ready in less than 5 minutes, this deli-style whipped cream cheese is super fluffy and delicious. Spread onto toast, bagels, crostini, or serve as a dip for pretzels, chips, and veggies. The list is endless! Recipe yields 4 generous servings (about ¼ cup each).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (approx 200 grams) full-fat cream cheese (block or spread).
  • ½ - 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. 1

    If you use cream cheese block, place it at room temperature for about 1 hour (no need to soften cream cheese spread instead).

  2. 2

    Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl - if using an electric hand beater - or place it in a bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or in a food processor.

  3. 3

    Add the milk (use ½ Tbs for spread or 1 Tbsp for block) and beat on the highest speed possible for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. During the beating, you might want to stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.

  4. 4

    Once the cheese looks airy like frosting you can use it straight away or you can transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

  5. 5

    Note: if you fancy some variations, stir in your fav add-ins. Please note: if you add fresh garlic, I recommend to enjoy it within 3-4 days.
