Tips

  • Chill the jam first so it stays in ribbons instead of blending in.
  • For a fresher ribbon, simmer a handful of chopped strawberries with 1 tbsp sugar until jammy, then chill.
  • Soften the cream cheese well. Cold lumps will not whisk out.

Why it works

Cream cheese brings fat, protein and tang, and its protein binds water so the base spins thick and smooth. The jam stays in soft ribbons because its high sugar keeps it from freezing hard.
