# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes with no stovetop or oven required.
  • The texture is cloud-light but rich enough to feel indulgent.
  • You can tweak the flavor endlessly with citrus, extracts, or a splash of something boozy.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is too cold it'll form lumps that never fully blend in.
  • Folding the whipped cream in gently is crucial or the filling will deflate and turn dense.
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for faster, more stable peaks.
  • Taste the filling before using it and adjust the sugar or vanilla to your preference.
