Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.
Finely chop the fresh red chili, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, chopped chili, garlic powder, lemon juice, honey, smoked paprika, and salt.
Using a fork or a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the finely chopped parsley and drizzle the olive oil over the mixture for an added layer of richness.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or honey to balance the flavors.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with an extra sprinkle of smoked paprika and chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, toast, or vegetable sticks, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
