🍑 Homemade Peaches & Cream Spread
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and chopped) | 3 |
| Granulated sugar | ¼ cup |
| Lemon juice | 1 teaspoon |
| Cream cheese (softened) | 8 ounces |
| Powdered sugar | ¼ cup |
| Vanilla extract | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | Pinch |
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Cook the Peaches
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped peaches with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Base
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Peach and Cream Cheese Mixtures
Once the peach mixture has cooled, fold it into the cream cheese base. Stir gently until fully incorporated, leaving some peach chunks for added texture.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Transfer the spread into a serving dish or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled.
This spread is a summer favorite—light, fruity, and incredibly easy to make. Perfect for breakfasts, brunch boards, or anytime snacking!
