  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth, then let cool slightly before adding to the cream mixture.
  4. Incorporate ¼ cup of fresh key lime juice, 1 tablespoon of key lime zest, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until firm enough to handle.
