Honey Walnut Fig Cream Cheese

Meet your new favorite cream cheese y'all!!! So I must admit, the idea for this Honey Walnut Fig Cream Cheese was inspired by one of the seasonal cream cheeses at Trader Joe's. Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore so I made it my mission to recreate it! This cream cheese is great any time of year, however, it's PERFECT in the fall served with a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel -- such a treat! :)

I don't know about y'all but I love flavored cream cheese. The combination of the tart cream cheese with fig preserves, honey, walnuts, cinnamon, light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt is out of this world! All of the flavors compliment each other SO well and now that I've successfully made my own at home, I cannot wait to experiment with other ingredients (especially savory)!

I love having this on hand to have for breakfast in the morning, but it would be an EXTRA special treat for guests or even a "bagel bar" if you are hosting a shower. Enjoy y'all!
