- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Using an electric mixer (or a sturdy whisk and some elbow grease), beat the cream cheese mixture until it is completely smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese remaining.
- Take about half of your fresh raspberries and gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture. You want to lightly crush some of them to release their juices and flavor, but keep some whole for texture and visual appeal.1 cup fresh raspberries
