Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grab that lovely 9×13 inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine your softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. I always use an electric mixer for this step to get it nice and fluffy, but a whisk works just fine if you’re feeling a bit of a workout! Mix until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. It smells so sweet! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
