Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2–1 cup crunch topping (crushed shortbread cookies, graham crackers, or cereal)

Instructions
- Put the softened cream cheese into a mixing bowl and beat with the sugar and vanilla until very smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
