How to Make Cream Cheese Clouds
- In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces (227g) of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form. This may take 3-5 minutes.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully shape the mixture into small cloud-like mounds on a piece of wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the clouds to firm up.
- Once firm, fill each cloud with 1-2 teaspoons of cherry pie filling.
- Top with your favorite chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts) and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
