Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier mixing.
Roughly chop the walnuts into small pieces using a knife or a food processor, ensuring they are small enough to blend evenly into the spread.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Make sure the honey and vanilla are fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the honey walnut cream cheese spread into a serving dish or airtight container for storage.
Serve immediately with bagels, crackers, or fresh fruit, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring it to room temperature before serving for optimal spreadability.
