  • With the mixer still running, slowly add the granulated sugar to fully incorporate it without causing graininess.
  • Add the salt and vanilla extract (don't forget to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl so that all the cream cheese is well mixed.)
  • Give the cream cheese a final high-speed mix for 30 seconds to a minute, until all the sugar has dissolved.
