Start by using a whisk attachment (as opposed to the paddle) on your stand mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat to combine until smooth. Scrape down edges and make sure it's smooth.
With mixer running, start drizzling in cream. If you add it all at once too fast, you run the risk of lumps so steady is best. Continue beating for several minutes until it's smooth and fluffy, with stiff peaks.
