I’m raising my hand right along with you – cream cheese is one of my favourite ingredients to use in both savoury and sweet recipes and this Easy Homemade Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese spread I’m sharing with you today is out of this world delicious! If you love garlic even a little bit, you’re going to go crazy for this stuff. We enjoy it on crackers, bread or toast, bagels, and even as a part of appetizers, like my Creamy Bruschetta Bites.

Thanks to this recipe, you can skip the grocery store cream cheese aisle and make this Easy Homemade Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese yourself at home, at a fraction of the cost. And it tastes SO much better than anything from the supermarket, trust me! The only kitchen tool that’s really useful for this Easy Homemade Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese recipe is a garlic press. If you don’t have one, they’re very inexpensive and useful for mincing garlic so much faster than you could ever do with a knife and cutting board. In recipes like this, the garlic needs to be completely crushed in order to integrate well and a garlic press does the trick every time.
