Raspberry-Honey Shmear

Nothing is better on a bagel that a thick layer of this fruity shmear. I like mine a bit chunky so that you get random bursts of tangy raspberry flavor mixed in with the cream cheese and sweet honey. If you prefer it smoother, place all ingredients into a mini food chopper or processor and blend until desired consistency. If you like things a little sweeter, add another tablespoon of honey.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into chunks
• 3 ounces fresh raspberries, rinsed and patted dry
• 2 tablespoons honey

Steps

1. Place cream cheese in a bowl and microwave at 30% power in 10 second intervals until slightly soft but not warm, approximately 20 to 30 seconds.
2. Place raspberries and honey over top and lightly mash raspberries with a fork. Stir mixture until evenly combined.
