    Beat the cream cheese on a low speed and then slowly go up to the highest speed. Then, you can thin the cream cheese if desired.

    Yes, whipping the cream cheese will aerate it, causing it to be lighter and easier to spread.

  • Question
    Will cream cheese thicken again if I have melted it in the microwave?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No, it will not thicken once it's melted or softened. It gets creamy because the main ingredient is milk.

  • Question
    I've already mixed the cream cheese and non dairy whipped topping, but the cream cheese is lumpy. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Try cutting it up in cubes then put them in a Ziploc (resealable plastic) bag. Then press them with your hands instead of doing that, then mix it with a mixer.
