Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I like to start by softening my cream cheese to room temperature. This step is crucial because it allows for a smoother texture in the final salad. In a large mixing bowl, I beat the softened cream cheese until it’s creamy and fluffy. Then, I add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until it’s fully combined and delightful. It smells so good already, and I can’t help but sneak a taste at this stage!
