  5. 5

    In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

  6. 6

    Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Chef's tip

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother blend. The addition of gelatin provides a more stable consistency that sets well without baking.
