How do I reconstitute the powder into spreadable cream cheese?

Mixing the powder is quick and flexible: combine three parts powder with one part water and whisk until smooth. Adjust the water to reach your preferred thickness—less water for piping or frosting, more for sauces and dips. Chill after mixing for a firmer spread if desired.

• Standard ratio: 3 parts powder : 1 part water for spreadable texture.
• For frosting/piping: reduce water slightly for a stiffer consistency.
• For sauces/dips: add water or milk gradually to thin to desired thickness.
• Storage after mixing: refrigerate and use within a few days for best quality.
