  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with festive cupcake liners.

  3. In a bowl, beat 16 oz of softened cream cheese with 0.5 cup sugar until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, blending on low speed until just incorporated.
  5. Incorporate drops of neon green food coloring until the desired vibrant hue is achieved.

  8. Let cool completely in the pan before transferring to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  9. Top with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles just before serving for a festive finish.
