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.

Hi Heather. I just made this for my mom and she told me its too sweet. Can you please suggest any tips to reduce the sweetness in the cream cheese? Thank you in advance
I thinned with a splash of milk and used as a glaze, with Bobby Flay’s Carrot Cake Pancakes 😉
Yum!
