  2. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture.
Assembly

  2. Use a knife to swirl the raspberry sauce into the filling.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure all ingredients are cold when mixing. Use fresh raspberries for the sauce and decoration. Consider adding sour cream for a tangy variation.
