Cream cheese frosting
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can prepare the cream cheese cream in a flash, as the whole process takes very little time. The most important thing for a successful cream is to choose the right cream with a fat content of more than 30%. Sometimes manufacturers even indicate right on the package that the cream is suitable for whipping. The cream cheese cream turns out incredibly delicious, and you can use it not only for filling cake layers or small pastries. Serve the cream in a ramekin, garnished with fresh or frozen berries and fruits, and add nuts or decorative sprinkles and toppings—this will make a complete dessert that both children and adults will love. Save this recipe. Serve chilled.

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. The cream should be cold, while the cheese is better off resting at room temperature for a while—this way it will blend into the cream more smoothly, without lumps. If you don't have cottage cheese, you can use mascarpone or ricotta instead.

For whipping cream, use a deep bowl or a small saucepan. The cream and the container for whipping should be cold. First, whip the cream at a low speed, then gradually increase the speed to maximum. Whip the cream until it turns into a fluffy mass.

You can use the cream right away as intended. It's perfect for filling any cake, for smaller pastries, or even as a standalone dessert. However, do not store the cream in a warm place, as it will start to melt. Once your dessert is ready, immediately place it in the refrigerator for storage. Enjoy your treat!
