The cream cheese needs to be warm to mix well. I soften it in my microwave and make sure it's warm and smooshy before attempting to mix it into the cream. If you are using a blender instead of whisking by hand it mixes a little easier. However, small chunks are ok as they melt during baking!

They shouldn't post if they're not around for questions/answers. Doesn't say when to put the cream cheese etc. mixture in. Not well written at all.
