In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and unsalted butter. Ensure both are at room temperature for easy mixing.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add the heavy cream, minced garlic, ground black pepper, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, and sea salt to the bowl.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to evenly incorporate the herbs, spices, and cream into the cheese blend.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more black pepper or salt to suit your preferences.
Transfer the mixture to a small bowl or ramekin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
