Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
- Cook briefly until the fruit softens and releases juices.
- Cool the fruit mixture completely before combining.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold the cooled fruit mixture into the cream cheese base.
- Mix gently to maintain texture and visible fruit pieces.
- Chill before assembly for a thicker, more stable filling.
Notes
For a softer filling, use immediately after chilling briefly. For a thicker consistency, chill longer before use. Freeze in airtight containers for up to two months and thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Keep layers chilled during assembly for better stability. Customize flavors with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, or citrus zest. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
