Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons granular sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • â…› teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping Suggestions

  • Strawberry jam
  • Graham crackers crushed
  • Fresh berries

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • You want it light and fluffy—not overwhipped.
  • Place the softened cream cheese and sour cream in another mixing bowl and beat it until it's completely smooth and creamy. Don't rush this step—a smooth base means a silky dip.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  • Continue beating until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Take your time here. Folding instead of stirring helps keep the dip light and airy.
  • Although you can serve it immediately, I like to refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. It thickens slightly and the flavors come together beautifully.
  • op with your favorite toppings just before serving.
