Cream Cheese With Chives & Capers

Learn how to make versatile whipped cream cheese with chives and capers that can be used in many ways: as a cream cheese dip or spread, with smoked salmon, tossed through hot pasta or vegetables, or as a stuffing in mushrooms or jalapeno poppers. Low-carb, keto, gluten-free.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped baby capers
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• Optional: 1-2 tablespoons sour cream or plain yoghurt
• To serve: a bunch of radishes (trimmed and cut in halves/quarters)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Bring the cream cheese to room temperature to make it softer.
2. 2There are two ways to whip cream cheese: using an electric whisk or simply with a fork. If you're making a larger batch, using a whisk will give you the best results. Simply whip it for 30 seconds or so before adding chives and capers. I made a small batch so I whisked the cream cheese together with other ingredients using a fork until fluffy.
3. 3Add finely chopped capers, chives, salt and pepper. You can also add a little sour cream to lighter it up and make it a little thinner. Mix with the cream cheese.
