Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften.
While the cream cheese softens, chop the walnuts into small pieces using a knife or food processor. Set aside.
Add the softened cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt into the mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently using a spatula to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the spread.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or an airtight container if storing for later.
Serve immediately with bagels, crackers, or fruit, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Allow the spread to soften slightly at room temperature before serving if chilled.
