  • 5. Wash your beaters and put them in the freezer (for a few minutes) with the cold mixing bowl that's already in there. Then take the bowl and beaters from the freezer and mix (on high) one can chilled Milnot.
  • 6. When the Milnot has gotten stiff, gradually add in about 1/4 cup sugar. Then slowly blend in the cream cheese/jello mixture, using bowl scraper to gently scrape sides while mixing. It should have a fluffy, 'whipped' consistency.
