Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 60 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, place the cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Add the fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, salt, and ground black pepper to the softened cream cheese.
Using a handheld mixer or a sturdy whisk, blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning by adding more honey for sweetness or a pinch of salt for balance, as desired.
Transfer the Tangy Orange Cheese to a serving bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Remove from the refrigerator before serving and pair with your favorite crackers, slices of baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
