Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

Instructions

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together cream cheese, powder sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. (If you don't have a stand mixer, use a hand mixer.)
Switch to the whisk attachment and slowly add in heavy whipping cream. Whip until fully incorporated. Scrape the side of the bowl as needed.
Beat topping until it thickens and forms soft peaks, about 3-5 minutes. It should have a light, creamy texture.
Spread topping over cake.
Refrigerate any cake frosted with this frosting.
