Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully combined and fluffy.

- Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
