  • Prepare the Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients. This helps achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Fold Gently: When adding whipped cream or egg whites to the cream cheese mixture, fold them gently to maintain air and volume. Avoid over-mixing, as this can result in a dense and deflated mixture.
