- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Equipment
Instructions
- Pulse blueberries and sugar in food processor until berries are chopped.

- Chill cream cheese for a couple hours before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Servings - This recipe makes about 1 ⅔ cup cream cheese spread, which is equal to 13 servings (about 2 tablespoons each).
Sweeter - The cream cheese is lightly sweetened. For a sweeter spread, add an extra tablespoon (or two) of sugar.
Chilling the Spread - While you can eat the cream cheese as soon as it's made, I recommend chilling it first. That way, the flavors can blend, and the spread will firm up a bit.
No Food Processor - Don't have a food processor? Chop the blueberries as finely as possible, then mix with the sugar and let dissolve. Add the cream cheese and lemon zest, then stir until smooth.
