Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups Cream of coconut look for Coco Real in the mixer aisle
  • 1 bar 8 oz Cream cheese (fully softened to room temperature)
  • Serving suggestion: Assorted fresh fruits strawberries, pineapple, mango, graham crackers, or vanilla wafers.

Equipment

  • Handheld Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Whip the Cream: Combine chilled heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in a bowl; beat with a mixer for 3–4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  2. Mix the Base: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and cream of coconut until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Fold and Combine: Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a slow circular motion until just incorporated.
  4. Chill to Set: Transfer the mixture to a covered container and refrigerate for 2–3 hours (this is the secret to that perfect "cloud" texture!).
  5. Serve: Stir gently before serving alongside your favorite seasonal fruits and crunchy dippers.

Notes

1. Use Cream of Coconut (like Coco Real) specifically; it is a sweetened syrup found in the drink mix aisle, not the same as canned coconut milk. 2. Refrigerating for 2-3 hours is essential as it allows the flavors to meld and the texture to become perfectly creamy and stable. 3. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to guarantee a lump-free, professional-grade consistency.
