HONEY WALNUT CREAM CHEESE

By

Honey_walnut_cream_cheese_diybites

This cream cheese takes like 5 minutes to prepare, it only needs 4 ingredients, and it’s freaking awesome 🙆🏼. Great for a quick breakfast, as a snack, dessert?! Yea, totes. You can spread it on your favorite breads, bagels, cakes, or cupcakes. I usually use organic acacia honey. However, any other good quality honey will do the job 👌🏼. Those 2 minutes spent on toasting the walnuts will be well worth it, so totally toast them. Do it. For real.
