Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Let the cream cheese soften to room temperature for about 30 minutes to make it easier to mix.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the heavy cream by stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat until fluffy and smooth.
Add the dissolved coffee mixture and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the spread has a creamy consistency.
Taste the spread and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more powdered sugar, a teaspoon at a time, until it meets your preference.
Transfer the Coffee Cream Cheese Spread to a serving dish or an airtight container if storing. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with bagels, toast, croissants, or even as a frosting alternative for desserts. Enjoy!
