GARDEN FRESH HERBED CREAM CHEESE
16 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 c. Butter, softened
5 cloves fresh garlic OR 3/4 t. Granulated Garlic
2 T. each of the following fresh herbs, lemon balm, chives, parsley, thyme, basil, dill
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. Pepper
2 Lemons, zested and juiced (divided)
Place in mixer bowl, all ingredients; except 1/2 of the lemon juice. Cream together and gradually add more lemon juice as needed, until the desired consistency is reached. For a dip you will probably want it thinner than you would for a spread.
Serve with veggies and crackers or as a spread for pinwheel or layered sandwiches or whatever you like. Dried herbs can be used in place of some of the fresh herbs, but not all of them or it will not taste the same.
