Directions
Step 1
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes to soften.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat it with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually sift the powdered sugar into the cream cheese, mixing after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, and continue to mix until evenly distributed.
Step 5
If you prefer a slightly looser consistency, add the milk one teaspoon at a time and mix well until the desired texture is achieved.

Transfer the sweetened cream cheese to a serving bowl, or store it in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
