In a chilled bowl, beat cream on high until stiff peaks begin to form.
1 cup heavy cream
Cover and chill while you continue.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until well-combined, about 2-3 minutes on high. It's important that the cream cheese and sugar be well-combined, so don't cut this step short.
8 ounces cream cheese, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Chill leftovers.

The cream cheese should be soft and at room temperature. If it's too cold, it can clump up when mixed with the whipped cream.
