Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13 inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a good old whisk to blend it all until it’s perfectly creamy and smooth. You might find yourself sneaking a taste—don’t worry, I won’t tell! Once mixed, set this aside for now. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
