Preparation Steps

Start by taking your cream cheese out of the fridge and letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Beat together at medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the maple syrup and vanilla extract, then continue beating for an additional 2 minutes.
If too thick, gradually add more Greek yogurt; if too runny, mix in more cream cheese until desired consistency.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
