Cream Cheese.
Usually, you either love it or hate it. I personally like it with some things, but not with others. You won’t find me eating it on a bagel, but if you add it to buttercream and spread it on carrot cake, I’m there.
Cream cheese can be very rich, and therefore it’s not for everybody. But, just like carrot cake and pumpkin rolls, there’s something else that just can’t hold it’s own without the help of a little cream cheese.
Red Velvet.
Let’s be honest, it just tastes so much better with it. I know, I know, it’s just a red tinted chocolate cake and we don’t whine when there’s no cream cheese frosting on a chocolate cake, so why Red Velvet? I dunno, they just belong together, am I right?
There’s nothing more disappointing than grabbing a red velvet cupcake or whoopie pie just to find out it’s filled or topped with basic buttercream. It just doesn’t work.
So when I decided to make a Pink Velvet Hot Chocolate, just like red velvet, it needed a little cream cheese for the perfect finish. So behold the origin of this amazingly delicious and fluffy Cream Cheese Whipped Cream.
And yes, it’s perfectly okay to just eat it with a spoon.
This Cream Cheese Whipped Cream is seriously amazing and the perfect topping for desserts, hot chocolate, milkshakes, and more!

When you say splitting do you mean separating? With whipped creams there is always a chance of that if overmixed and it is one of the reasons I call for whipped cream cheese in this recipe instead of regular because it will whip into the mixture easier and quicker so the whipped cream doesn’t get overmixed.

Hi, is there a possibility of this splitting? How to avoid splitting and how should I save it if it does split? Can’t wait to try this recipe out, thanks! 🙂
