Helpful Tips:

• Make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature.
• Beat the cream cheese for 30 seconds to a minute before adding any of the other ingredients.
• Keep the whipping cream chilled. Cold cream will whip easier than if it is at room temperature. It does not hurt to have the beater and the bowl chilled also.
• Once the ingredients are whipped together it is best to put into serving bowls. The dessert will set up a bit more after it chills.
• The dessert should be stored in the refrigerator. I like to store them in a container that has an airtight.
• The dessert can stay in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
