Why has there been so little innovation in flavored cream cheese? I’m sure that some would argue that we don’t need it, but I would find find it a welcome change. Having eaten them for more than 20 years, its always been the same cast of characters: everything, chive or scallion, cinnamon, lox and maybe pumpkin in the fall. Well, here’s my list to get you started.
Harissa
Chimichurri
Chorizo
Romesco
Roasted Fennel
Salted Caramel
Pecan Pie
Pastrami Sandwich
Mocha
Chocolate
Dulce de Leche
Mole
