Do you make your own whipped cream cheese or is it something you buy prepackaged and ready to use? The recipe sounds great and I would like to try it.
I just buy cream cheese.
Can I use regular block softened cream cheese instead of whipped? Because that’s what I have in my fridge. 😊
Yes, you can use block cream cheese. I would just allow it to soften at room temperature before using in this recipe.
