Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, I like to grab my trusty 9×13 inch baking dish and lightly grease it to ensure nothing sticks—trust me, a good grease is key! In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Once it’s luscious and fluffy, spread this cream cheese mixture evenly onto the bottom of the greased dish. This sets the stage for the delightful layers about to come.
