5. Decorate with a drizzle of white icing (included in case).
6. Top with a sprinkle of seasonal granola.

Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Gather the bowl of your stand mixer and add heavy cream. Beat until stiff peaks form. If using a stand mixer, transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.
2. In a second large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, corn starch (if using), and vanilla extract. Beat until well-mixed and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed.
3. Use a spatula to fold whipped cream and yogurt into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
4. Transfer whipped cream cheese in piping bag when finished.
