  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in heavy cream and whip it using an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed, blending until smooth and creamy, around 2-3 minutes. Add in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  3. If using, add a few drops of red food coloring to your cream cheese mixture and stir gently.
  4. Carefully fold the prepared whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until well combined.
