Equipment

- 3 oz cream cheese of choice , can be reduced fat or fat free
- 1 cup heavy cream , also called heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract , optional for more flavor
- 2 Tbsp pistachio butter
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will ensure a smooth consistency when blending it with the other ingredients.
- For best results, chill mixing bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes before whipping. Keep heavy cream cold in the fridge until then.
Whip Cream
- In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese and honey.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and honey together. The mixture should be creamy, and it is important to prevent lumps in the finished whipped cream.
- Once the cream cheese and honey are well combined, pour in the heavy cream and add the vanilla extract.
- Begin whipping the mixture at low speed, gradually increasing the speed to medium-high until well blended.
- Finish whipping until stiff peaks form. This means the whipped cream should be thick and hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
- Fold in the pistachio butter
- Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
- Use the freshly whipped cream to top your favorite desserts, such as cakes, pies, fruits and more.
Storing Instructions
- If you have leftover whipped cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 1-2 days. You may need to re-whip it for a few seconds to restore the desired consistency.
