Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, I like to grab my mixing bowl and whisk together the softened cream cheese and half of the sugar. It’s such a joy to see the smooth texture form as I mix and the sweet scent fills my kitchen. Next, I slowly add in the milk and vanilla extract until it’s all well blended and creamy. This is when I start to feel that excitement building! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
