This Spiced Brown Sugar Cream Cheese is a creamy, sweet, and slightly spiced spread perfect for bagels, toast, or as a dip for fruits and crackers. It’s a quick and festive treat for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese base:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and brown sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or a spatula until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the spices and flavoring:
    • Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Taste and adjust:
    • Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spices according to your preference.
  4. Serve:
    • Transfer the spiced cream cheese to a serving dish. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  • This spread pairs wonderfully with cinnamon-raisin bagels, apple slices, or graham crackers.
