Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 8 ounces Low sodium cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries and one tablespoon of honey.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the blueberries have burst and formed a sauce-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the blueberry mixture to cool for a few minutes.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low sodium cream cheese, the remaining tablespoon of honey, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the cooled blueberry mixture into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to ensure an evenly distributed swirl of blueberries.
Transfer the blueberry cream cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the blueberry cream cheese spread on your choice of bagels, toast, or crackers. Enjoy!
