In a small microwave-safe cup, combine water and gelatin. Microwave for 15 seconds until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir and set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until well incorporated. Drizzle cooled gelatin over the mixture and stir together until uniform. Put in the fridge for an hour to chill and solidify.
