Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
4. Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
