Step 3: Whip the Cream

In a separate chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This gives the dessert a light, fluffy texture.

Step 4: Combine Cheesecake and Pudding

Gently fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture. Then carefully fold in the whipped cream until smooth and airy. Avoid overmixing.
