In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the heavy whipping cream while continuing to mix. Start on low speed to prevent splattering, then increase to medium-high speed as the mixture thickens.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream mixture. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. The texture should be thick and spreadable, similar to clotted cream.
Taste the cream and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, and mixing thoroughly.
Transfer the mock Devonshire cream to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, though it can be served immediately if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside your favorite fresh scones or fruit. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
