Easy Garlic Chive Cream Cheese: Why You’ll Never Buy the Tub Again
One bite of this silky, herb-packed 6-ingredient spread, and you’ll wish you’d started making it from scratch sooner. Freshly whipped cream cheese with bright chives and seasonings comes together in under 5 minutes, giving you a spread so much bolder and creamier than anything you’d find in a store-bought plastic tub.
Ingrédients
- 8 ounce block of full fat cream cheese, completely softened
- 1-2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (about a pinch) of kosher salt (can use sea salt as well)
Préparation
- 1
Bundle your chives intoa tight, neat bundle. Use your “claw” hand (fingertips tucked in) to hold them steady against the cutting board.
- 2
Use a circular rocking motion to cut. Slide the blade forward and down, letting the sharp edge cut the chives into uniform rings.
- 3
In a bowl, whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 4
Add in 1 Tablespoon of heavy cream and whip until incorporated.
- 5
Add in the chives and seasonings, and whip until fully combined. If it’s too thick, add in the remaining 1 Tablespoon of heavy cream. *I use the full amount.
- 6
Transfer to a lidded container and chill in the fridge for an hour to let the flavors marry before serving.
