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
- Strawberries – I’m using fresh summer berries for a sweet addition.
- Blueberries – Make sure to use sweet berries, not tart.
- Brown sugar -I’m using two tablespoons in the recipe, but if your berries are super sweet, you can use 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Cream cheese – I’m using a full-fat brick cream cheese.

I think cream cheese is an ok kitchen shortcut, too. I’ve never tried Udi products, but I’d definitely start with these bagels! Bring on the berries and kitchen shortcuts!
I see this for breakfast in my near future.
Why don’t I watch more old seasons? I totally need to! Love this cream cheese, that flavor is genius!
I know it’s sacrilegious to say, but berries taste SO much better when they’re roasted!
Such a great idea to make your own berry cream cheese! We love Udi’s bagels, too!
You always have the most genius flavors 😀 Love the idea of roasting the berries first!
Um yeah, I need this and a bag of Udi’s bagels stat.
