Description
This unique Matcha Cream Cheese Spread offers a delightful fusion of creamy tanginess and matcha’s gentle bitterness.
Ingredients
- Softened cream cheese block (dairy or dairy-free)
- Matcha powder (culinary-grade recommended)
- Confectioners’ sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Begin by placing your softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. This will be the base of your spread, so make sure it’s evenly softened to avoid any lumps during mixing.
- Next, sift the matcha powder directly over the cream cheese. Start with two teaspoons and adjust according to taste preference. If using, sift the confectioners’ sugar alongside the matcha to blend the sweetness evenly throughout.
- With your ingredients in the bowl, use a spoon to mix them for a rustic texture, or opt for a hand mixer if a creamier consistency is desired. Blend until the spread turns a uniform green hue and achieves smoothness without any specks of matcha.
- Once properly blended, you can either serve immediately or place the spread in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep up to two weeks, making it a convenient addition to your fridge.
Notes
For a thicker spread, refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
