Peaches & Cream Spread - Page 2 - The Flavorful Journey

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peaches:

To peel peaches easily, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. The skins will slide right off.
Finely dice the peaches (about 1 cup). If they’re extra juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent a watery spread.

2. Mix Cream Cheese & Butter:

In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes).

3. Sweeten & Season:

Add powdered sugar and salt, then mix again until fully incorporated.

4. Fold in Peaches:

Gently stir in the diced peaches, being careful not to overmix (you want a bit of texture!).

5. Chill & Serve:

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld.
Enjoy on toast, bagels, or as a dip!

Tips for Success:

✔ Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor (or well-drained canned/frozen peaches in a pinch).
✔ Softened cream cheese & butter blend smoother—no lumps!
✔ Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
✔ Customize the texture—mash half the peaches for a smoother spread or leave them diced for a chunkier bite.

Delicious Variations:

🍯 Peach & Honey – Swap powdered sugar for honey.
🍂 Peach & Cinnamon – Add ¼ tsp cinnamon for warmth.
🌰 Peach & Nut – Mix in ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
