  5. Beat the softened cream cheese for 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
  6. Mix in the powdered sugar gradually until no lumps remain in the batter.
  7. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature for a lump-free filling. Run a sharp knife under hot water and wipe it dry between slices for clean, professional cuts.
