Ingredients
-
1 (8 oz / 225g) block cream cheese, softened

1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
-
½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup (120g) sweetened condensed milk

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. Beat the Cream Cheese
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk
Slowly mix in sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
4. Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Do this carefully to retain the fluffy texture.
5. Chill (Optional)
Transfer the fluff to serving bowls or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer texture, or serve immediately for a lighter, cloud-like consistency.
