Cream Cheese Whipped Cream
This Cream Cheese Whipped Cream is a deliciously creamy and tangy topping for desserts, milkshakes, hot chocolate, and more! Made with only 4 simple ingredients in just 5 minutes or less!
While I love my classic Homemade Whipped Cream without Powdered Sugar, there’s just something about the addition of cream cheese. Usually, you either love cream cheese 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. And of course, if you add a heaping dollop of this Cream Cheese Whipped Cream to a generous portion of Homemade Strawberry Shortcake I’m there too.
From a breakfast topping to a dessert topping and everything in between, this Cream Cheese Whipped Cream lends a perfectly tangy yet sweet finish that gives classic whipped cream a run for its #1 spot!

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! 🙂
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.
Would this work in between layers in a trifle?
Yes, absolutely!
How long will this keep in the fridge?
Hi Melinda, likely only a day or two as the whipped cream will start to deflate at a point.
I am not a fan of regular whipped cream, but somethings just aren’t the same without it so I’ve been on the hunt for a whipped cream alternative that looked the same but didn’t taste the same. Thus my question is, does this recipe taste like whipped cream or is it a noticeable difference?
Hi Emily, I personally think there’s a noticeable difference compared to traditional homemade whipped cream either made plain or with vanilla.
Thank you for this! Super awesome stuff; so much better than plain whipped cream. It was perfect on breakfast pancakes with strawberries and organic maple syrup!
Because it was breakfast for two, I made a half-recipe. I used organic granulated sugar, and 2 oz of regular cream cheese (since I didn’t have whipped cream cheese handy). Also used a leftover 24-oz plastic yogurt container; because of the container’s tall narrow shape, it whipped up in about 20 seconds.
This is so good and so easy. I made it to go in between a lemon layer and strawberry layer pie with enough left over for a big dollop on top with garnishes. Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that cake sounds delish!
Do you have nutritional information minus the sugar? I use swerve to make it lower carb
I don’t, sorry.
It’s wonderful for those on a keto diet all you need to do is replace the sugar and YUM
A great tip, thanks!
Fis this regular granulated sugar you are using?
Yes, granulated, though powdered sugar could also be used.
I want to make this for layered cupcakes. How much would one serving make?
