  • About

This filling is very much, in fact almost exactly, like cheesecake.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup confectionerssugar, or more as needed

Method

Beat the cream cheese using a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until softened. Beat in the sugar and vanilla.

As the cream cheese gets easier to mix, switch to a whisk and add the sour cream, one-fourth at a time. Whisk until smooth. Add more sour cream as needed to obtain the desired consistency, which should be smooth and silky but still thick.
