Combine the cream cheese and almond extract in the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (no need to wipe the bowl clean). Beat on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to mix in a third of the whipped cream by hand, then gently fold in the rest. Spread over the vanilla wafer crust in an even layer.
