- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar (or adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: crushed graham crackers, fresh berries, chocolate chips, or whipped cream for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Whip the Cream
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4: Serve
- Spoon the cheesecake fluff into serving bowls or cups.
- Garnish with crushed graham crackers, fresh berries, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor, if desired.
