Oh how I have ALWAYS loved blueberry cream cheese. I remember growing up, in Denver, going to local bagel shops. I would order a blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese! I try to limit (well, I have completely in fact) bagels (and other white flour – but maybe some healthy bagels are in my future) but have found no reason to eliminate or limit at all the blueberry cream cheese – this is healthy, 100% natural and full of amazing enzymes.
If you have not read my post about cream cheese and whey, start there. This is what you do with the finished cream cheese product:
The amounts below depend solely on your amount of cream cheese. If you are like me, you use what is left over (raw milk, yogurt, etc.) and the amount always changes.
- Put cream cheese (freshly made or softened) in food processor. Add fresh blueberrys and mix until it is a beautiful blue color.
- Using the attachment that lets you add while mixing, drizzle in a bit of maple syrup. Remember, you won’t need much if your blueberries are really sweet!
We love as a dip for crackers (plain of course) and on english muffins or toast.

This looks wonderful. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much for sharing this along with the recipe for the homemade cream cheese. I made that about a week or so ago with clabbered milk. It came great.
I link to you from my blog (I’m just getting started), so that I remember to check your site regularly.
Love,

Well thank you for linking to my blog! I love having visitors! Thanks for stopping by and I will be sure to visit your blog as well!
In the summer my viili tends to turn to cream cheese very quickly and I have some that needs to get used. I think I will be blending some up for tomorrow’s book club meeting! Came over from Fight Back Friday!
I hope it turned out well for you…and thanks for stopping by!
Oh yum! I’ve always been one of those that would eat a little bagel with my cream cheese.
I’d love to try this with strawberries as well.
As much as I want to like it, I can’t get used to the stronger flavor of homemade cream cheese. Maybe this is a way that I can finally enjoy it! Thanks for posting!
I have had the same problem. Truly it was the smell that put me off, I do not really mind the taste. I am getting used to it however!
I have a recipe for sourdough bagels that would be perfect with this! Found your blog through healthyhomeeconomist, and love it
