Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by taking it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before starting to reach room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. If mixing by hand, whisk vigorously for 4-5 minutes.
- Stop occasionally to scrape down the bowl with a spatula to ensure even mixing. The dip should be smooth, creamy, and hold soft peaks.
- If the dip feels too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream and mix again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired, then whip briefly to combine.
- Chill the dip for 15-30 minutes before serving for best flavor, or serve immediately if in a hurry.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Do not overmix to prevent the dip from turning greasy. Powdered sugar dissolves best for a smooth texture. Add a splash of milk or cream if the dip is too thick. Can be made vegan by using dairy-free cream cheese and skipping vanilla extract if it contains alcohol.
