Cream Cheese Spread

Hello, my friends.

Today I’m sharing a quick and easy recipe for a delicious honey-cinnamon cream cheese spread. After making these cinnamon raisin bagels I knew I needed a delicious honey-cinnamon cream cheese spread to go on top. After doing a little experimenting, this was the winning combo that I want to eat on my cinnamon raisin bagels for the rest of my life.

Just 4 ingredients

  • cream cheese – it works best if it is softened to room temperature
  • honey – I use raw, but I think any honey should work
  • ground cinnamon
  • vanilla extract – I’m a huge fan of this Mexican vanilla, aff. link

How to make this honey-cinnamon cream cheese

You won’t believe how easy it is to make this cream cheese spread.

Just pop all the ingredients in a food process and give it a good mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

You can also mix it by hand–it just requires a little bit of arm muscles. All that exertion should definitely earn you an extra dollop when you’re done.

After mixing, keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It should keep for a couple of weeks at least.

What to serve it with

This spread is delicious on bagels, toast or crackers. It is a delightful dip for apples. I’ve used it as a spread for these skinny pancakes. As I mentioned earlier, an especially delicious combination is with those cinnamon raisin bagels that I posted yesterday.

Does life get any better than a cinnamon raisin bagel smothered in honey-cinnamon cream cheese? I’m not sure how it could.
