Add your cold cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until it's fluffy (about 1 to 2 minutes).
Pour in the heavy cream, add that pinch of salt and the vanilla extract. Switch to the whisk attachment if you're using a stand mixer. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and has thickened to your desired consistency (another 1 to 2 minutes).
Taste your frosting. Add a bit of heavy cream for extra creaminess and beat it again to incorporate.
