2: Fold in the Whipped Topping
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy texture.
3: Add the Berries and Mix-Ins

4: Chill the Fluff
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual dessert cups.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to firm up.
