In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the 1 (8 oz) package of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. In a chilled glass or metal bowl, use a clean electric mixer to beat the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.

This simple cheesecake is a fantastic dessert with a classic flavor combination that everyone will love!
