For each of these recipes, make sure your cream cheese is at room temp to make the blending easy. You want the ingredients to be well combined. I mix mine in a little chopper (mini food processor) but a bowl and spoon will be fine! I've made all kinds of versions, but these are my favorites:

Reduced Fat Hazelnut Spread

1/2 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped
Just blend together!

Reduced Fat Sundried Tomato Spread

16 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
pinch of salt
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, soaked in hot water for ten minutes, then chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
Just blend together!

Kalamata Olive spread

16 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
pinch of salt
1/4 cup kalamata (Greek) olives, chopped
1/8 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
Just blend together!
