Flavored Cream Cheese
How to make homemade very berry cream cheese. Use this formula to add in the mix-ins of your choice. Go meshugena!
Ingredients
- 8 oz container of cream cheese at room temperature (not low fat)
- Fresh blueberries (Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries (chop the strawberries into smaller pieces), washed and dried well. Jam works well as an alternative!)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, plus more to taste
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Lay the cream cheese on a cutting board and flatten.
- Add a layer of berries on top with sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- With a flat spatula, fold the cream cheese over the fruit and pat down. Repeat five times until ingredients are incorporated.
- To test, run a finger across the cream cheese. If it’s mixed enough, you won’t see pure white.
- Adjust sugar to taste.
- Refrigerate any leftovers. Best served the day it's made.
- You can use this method for any of the other mix-ins listed on this post!
Notes
Frozen berries can work but make sure to drain in a colander for 90 minutes to get the water out and blot with paper towels.
