Notes
The addition of heavy cream will give a sweeter taste and tone down the cream cheese.
You may want to place the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes before forming into balls if it's too soft.
The easiest way to get uniform balls is to use a cookie scoop. It will also help to get the balls perfectly round.
For a smooth mixture, it's best to use soft cream cheese. To soften it quickly, put it in thee microwave for about 15 seconds.
The original recipe used 3 tablespoons of Truvia which is a concentrated granular mix of stevia and erythritol. Since one-for-one powdered sweeteners are more common these days, the recipe changed to use one of those instead.
