Place the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes if it’s not already softened.

Add the diced jalapeno peppers, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
