Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Utilizing an electric hand mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture for 60 to 90 seconds until the color is uniform and the texture is light and airy.
  • Transfer the spread to an airtight container and refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) for a minimum of 30 minutes to stabilize the emulsion before serving.
