Scale

8 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of two lemons
Whipped cream or cool whip (for topping)
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese into a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.

Notes
Fat-free cream cheese can be substituted for full-fat to achieve a sherbet-like texture.
Use bottled lemon juice if fresh lemons are unavailable—taste difference is minimal.
Make ahead up to 2 days and store covered in the refrigerator.
