4. Integrate Vanilla Extract: Gradually whisk in the vanilla extract while beating the mixture to a thick, velvety consistency.
5. Set and Chill: Spoon the whipped topping into a platter or individual dessert cups. Refrigerate for at least two to three hours, or until the dessert has set and cooled completely.
