Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp Orange zest
  • 1 tbsp Fresh orange juice
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Bring the cream cheese and unsalted butter to room temperature to soften. This ensures easy blending and a smooth texture.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until the mixture is creamy and well blended.

Step 3

Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and continue mixing to incorporate it evenly without lumps.

Step 4

Add the orange zest, fresh orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the flavors are well combined.

Step 5

Taste the spread and adjust sweetness or citrus flavor to your preference by adding a little more powdered sugar or orange juice, if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the Orange Cream Cheese Spread to a serving dish or a storage container. Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve as a spread for bagels, toast, muffins, or crackers, or as a dip for fresh fruit. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
