This berry cream cheese is the perfect topping for your morning bagel or as a delicious fruit dip. Ready in under 30 minutes and packed full of sweet berry flavor. You’ll want to spread this on everything!
I love all things breakfast but especially if that breakfast includes bagels and with that bagel comes delicious cream cheese.
And in this case, not just any cream cheese, homemade berry cream cheese!
How delicious does that sound?
I took fresh berries, roasted them in the oven, and mixed them into cream cheese to create the bagel topping or fruit dip of your dreams!
If you’re a lover of all things cream cheese this is the recipe for you! And if you’re looking for something with a smokey twist try this smoked cream cheese!

Ingredients for homemade berry cream cheese

Bagels are far too awesome to deal with sad cream cheese foolishness. I bet the roasted berries make this cream cheese taste infinitely better than the "berry" flavored tubs at the store.
