15 maraschino cherries

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.

Notes

Here is how to make your own whip cream:

In a chilled metal bowl (it doesn’t necessarily have to be metal, but I feel like it keeps it a little cooler) combine 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and two tablespoons of sugar.
Using an electric mixer, (I used a hand mixer) combine the ingredients until fully incorporated, and the whipped topping forms peaks.
Store in fridge until ready to serve, or use in recipe.
