Step 5
Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mixing bowl.

Use a fork or a spatula to mix all the ingredients together until well combined and creamy.
Step 7
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Step 8
Transfer the scallion cream cheese to a serving dish or an airtight container if not serving immediately.
