Not cream cheese, but this is unexpectedly awesome:
Why is whipped cream not an option here? That and some almond extract, maybe some orange or pineapple juice, you're off to the races.
Whipped cream is an option too! Was curious about people’s favorite combo and the recipes online don’t seem to converge on one. Judging by the handful of responses maybe there’s no majority consensus. I imagine the whipped cream version would taste similar to the heavy cream version but a fluffier texture if you whip it first? I’ll have to experiment with a bit of fruit juice!
My mom used to mix cream cheese with caramel, the kind found in jars sold as ice cream topping. Caramel is easy enough to make yourself with brown sugar and butter. Not the healthiest of options, but very addictive.
For my lazy and healthier option, I go for a vanilla flavored Greek yogurt. If I want something sweeter, or I'm making a fruit based dessert, I go for a sweeter cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, a bit of vanilla extract.
