This is so good! I did make one change…I whipped in marshmallow crème instead of marshmallows cuz I don’t like the texture of them. It’s really good! Thank you for this recipe.
Thank YOU, Deb, I'm so glad you liked it.

Prep day is Wednesday, can I cream the cream cheese , sugar and whipping cream ahead of time and then just combine everything Thursday morning?
Yes you can, Annette.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I am not a fan of marshmallows! Could I leave them out ?
We didn't made on that way, but you can try, Joanne.

Is it better to whip whip cream... then add cream cheese and sugar.. or do it all together
Hi Teri,
First, in a large dish combine cream cheese with ½ a cup of sugar and beat until it gets creamy.
And then add heavy whipping cream and mix until well combined and firm.
Best regards,
Dragana
Are these gluten free?
Yes April, you just need to check marshmallow on package.
