- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract

Instructions

- In a separate mixing vessel, agitate heavy cream until it develops robust, defined peaks.

Notes
- Softening cream cheese at room temperature ensures a smooth, lump-free base for the dip.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks carefully to maintain its light, airy texture when folding into the cream cheese mixture.
- Customize the dip by using different fruit toppings like strawberry, blueberry, or mixed berry compote for variety.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half the cream cheese and use a sugar-free pie filling to reduce calories.
