Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I always find that prepping all my ingredients first makes the whole process smoother. In a mixing bowl, I combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. The moment I start mixing, I’m enveloped by the sweet scent of vanilla that dances in the air—there’s nothing quite like it! Once it’s creamy and well-combined, I spread this mixture in an even layer at the bottom of my baking dish. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
