Instructions:
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

- Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Combine:
