Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the cream cheese on the counter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Cook the blueberry mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and create a sauce.
Step 4
Remove the blueberry sauce from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Once the blueberry sauce is cooled, transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
Step 6
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, blueberry puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Taste the blueberry cream cheese and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding a little more sugar if you prefer a sweeter spread.
Step 9
Transfer the blueberry cream cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 10
Serve the blueberry cream cheese spread on bagels, toast, or use as a filling for pastries. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
