In a mixing bowl, add 8 ounces of cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften.
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.
After all ingredients are added, increase the speed to medium and whip until the dip is fluffy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
