Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries
- About 30 shortbread cookies
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until soft but not melted.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the texture airy.
- Lightly mash half of the fresh raspberries with a fork and fold them gently into the dip mixture.
- Spoon the remaining raspberries on top of the dip and swirl lightly with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Zest lemon over the top and garnish with mint leaves. Arrange shortbread cookies around the dip on a serving platter.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and set the texture.
Notes
Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but do not overwhip. Fold whipped cream gently to keep dip airy. Use sturdy cookies like shortbread to prevent sogginess. Thaw and drain frozen raspberries if using. Chill dip at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
