Instructions:
- Soften the Cream Cheese:
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing. This will help achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
- Blend Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sugar-free pudding mix.
- Gradually add the heavy cream while mixing with a hand mixer until well combined.
- Slowly add the water while continuing to blend to avoid splashing. Mix for several minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Divide into Cups:
- Divide the mixture evenly among 6 dessert cups.
- Add Toppings:
- Top each serving with Redi Whip and a few pieces of chopped strawberry if desired. This will add about 2 extra carbs per serving but also balance the richness of the dessert with a touch of sweetness.
- Chill and Serve:
- For the best texture, chill the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
