Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for added brightness)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
If using frozen berries, allow them to thaw and drain any excess liquid. Chop large berries like strawberries into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Add the mixed berries, honey, vanilla extract, and optional lemon zest to the bowl with the cream cheese.
Using a hand mixer or wooden spoon, mix until well-combined and smooth. For a chunkier texture, leave some berry pieces intact.
Taste the mixture and add powdered sugar if additional sweetness is desired. Mix again to incorporate the sugar evenly.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Spread generously on toasted bagels, crackers, or use as a dip for fresh fruit, and enjoy!
