Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I take my softened cream cheese and place it into a mixing bowl. Using my electric mixer, I blend it until it’s smooth and creamy, which usually takes about 1-2 minutes. Then, I gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. The sweetness balances out the tanginess of the cream cheese beautifully. Once that’s done, I add the vanilla extract for extra flavor, making my kitchen smell divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
