Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving.

How do I make it fluffier?
For an extra light and airy texture, beat the whipping cream separately until soft peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Can I use Cool Whip instead of heavy whipping cream?
Yes! Swap the heavy cream for 8 ounces of Cool Whip for an even quicker version.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! Use dairy-free cream cheese and substitute coconut cream for the heavy whipping cream.

How can I make it healthier?
Swap the powdered sugar for honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener.
