   Put the cream cheese in a heat-resistant container and cover loosely with cling film.

   Put it in a 500 W microwave for 1 minute to soften.

3. 3

   Heat milk a little by either leaving out to room temperature or heating in a 500 W microwave for 30 seconds.

   Break apart the cream cheese with a whisk and stir until smooth.

5. 5

   Continue stirring, adding the milk a little at a time.

   Stir thoroughly after each addition.

8. 8

   Add the egg yolks one at a time, stirring after each addition.

12. 12

    For a vanilla scent, add vanilla oil (or extract).
