    Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until creamy and smooth for about 2 minutes.

    Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar while mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud.

    Once all the sugar is incorporated, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

    Next, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while continuing to mix on low speed.
