In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, blue cheese, and softened unsalted butter.
Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, beat the mixture until smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the spread is creamy and spreadable.
Stir in the fresh parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Transfer the cheese spread to a serving dish and smooth out the surface.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
