    Fig Cream Cheese Spread Recipe

    Fig cream cheese spread is seriously out of this world delicious - especially when it's spread on freshly baked sourdough bread.

    Just 2 ingredients are needed to make fig cream cheese spread. It's so easy - which is what makes it so good!

    Have a tub of this simple spread in the fridge for quick, easy breakfasts on those mornings when you need something sweet.

    It even works as a dip for fruit like apple slices.

    And if you love all things cream cheese, you might also enjoy this spiced pumpkin cream cheese, olive cream cheese spread or this roasted red pepper cream cheese dip.

    How To Make Fig Cream Cheese Spread

    Seriously, this recipe could not get any easier - you could even get the kids to make it! You need a block of cream cheese (don't use the spreadable kind as it will not have the right texture).

    You'll also need the best quality fig jam you can find. I've use Bonne Maman in this recipe. I find it's the best quality and has whole pieces of fig giving the best flavor dimensions and texture.

    Figs can be really hard to find (and very expensive) when out of season, so using good quality store bought is a good compromise.

    Of course, if you have access to homemade fig jam, then of course use that!

    All you need to do is whip the two ingredients together.

    You'll need a stand mixer or electric beater for this recipe - I don't recommend mixing by hand as you won't be able to achieve the whipped, spreadable consistency.

    It doesn't take long to make using electric beaters or a stand mixer - around a minute or two of whipping (depending on the power/speed of your appliance).

    How To Use Fig Cream Cheese Spread

    There are so many ways you can use this amazing spread!

    It's perfect as a sweet dip on a charcuterie board or even served with a dip for apple slices for the kids. Ok and if you love medjool dates ... remove the pit and squish some of this inside - it's heaven!

    It pairs amazingly well with freshly baked sourdough too. Why not try fig cream cheese spread on these sourdough breads:

    • Oatmeal Sourdough Bread
    • Coffee Sourdough Bread with Maple Infused Dates
    • Soft Sourdough Dinner Rolls
    • Sourdough Hot Cross Buns
    Fig Cream Cheese Spread
    This spread pairs well with this sourdough oatmeal bread - the perfect breakfast combination.

    Store this spread in the fridge up to the use by on the block of cream cheese that you used ... if it lasts that long!

    Equipment

    • Stand Mixer

    Ingredients
      

    • 125 g Cream Cheese block - not spreadable
    • 100 g Fig Jam good quality

    Instructions
     

    • Add the cream cheese and fig jam to the bowl of a stand mixer or use a mixing bowl and electric beaters.
    • Whip cream cheese and fig jam until it's smooth and spreadable.
    • It's really that easy!

    Notes

    Use the best quality fig jam you can find (I'm all for home made, but figs are really hard to find out of season, so good quality store bought jam is perfect).
    You need to use "block" cream cheese - not a tub of spreadable cream cheese. The spreadable cream cheese will be too runny when whipped.
