Ingredients
- 8 oz Low-sodium cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Fresh mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by ensuring your cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Remove it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior, or microwave it for 10-15 seconds if necessary.
Step 2
2. Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. If you're using larger berries like strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces for better incorporation.
Step 3
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh mixed berries, honey (if desired), vanilla extract, and unsweetened plain Greek yogurt (if using).
Step 4
4. Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and berries are evenly broken down. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
5. Taste for sweetness and adjust as needed, adding a little more honey if you'd like it sweeter.
Step 6
6. Once whipped and well-incorporated, transfer the berry cream cheese to a serving dish or airtight container. For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
7. Serve on bagels, toast, or crackers, and enjoy your homemade low-sodium whipped berry cream cheese!
Step 8
8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
