You can buy it at the store, but you can also try it homemade! Make it at home and you can add fun seasonings to make different flavor variations. Here’s what to do!
Soften the cream cheese first. This is important for getting the correct fluffy texture. Use a food processor or stand mixer (or a whisk). With a large food processor, you’ll have to stop and scrape the bowl a few times. Whip ½ tablespoon milk and 8 ounces cream cheese for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
That’s it! The cream cheese comes out with a luxuriously light texture, perfect for spreading on bagels, toast, sandwiches and more.
