Ingredients
1 cup(approx 200 grams)full-fat cream cheese (block or spread).
½ - 1 tablespoonmilk
Instructions
If you use cream cheese block, place it at room temperature for about 1 hour (no need to soften cream cheese spread instead).
Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl - if using an electric hand beater - or place it in a bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or in a food processor.
Add the milk (use ½ Tbs for spread or 1 Tbsp for block) and beat on the highest speed possible for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. During the beating, you might want to stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Once the cheese looks airy like frosting you can use it straight away or you can transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Note: if you fancy some variations, stir in your fav add-ins. Please note: if you add fresh garlic, I recommend to enjoy it within 3-4 days.
