Let the cream cheese sit out to come to room temperature. You want to work with softened cream cheese. Once the cream cheese is soft, add it to a large bowl.

Use a stand mixer, or a hand mix and mix the cream cheese for about 1 minute on high. Now add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

Mix on high for 2-3 minutes until everything is fully combined and soft peaks are formed. The mixture should be super creamy and fluffy.

Place a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Serve with your favorite dippers! See the post above for different variations and ideas for the cheesecake dip. And ENJOY!
