Making blueberry cheese at home is not only fun, but it also ensures you get the freshest flavors possible. Whether you’re crafting a sweet spread or a tangy dip, homemade blueberry cheese adds a special touch to any meal. Here’s how to make it yourself!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (you can adjust this to your sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional for extra sweetness)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Making this recipe is super easy. Let’s break it down into steps:

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: First, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest in a bowl. Beat everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  2. Cook the Blueberries: In a saucepan, cook the blueberries over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. The berries will soften and release their juices, forming a syrup-like consistency. If you like things sweeter, feel free to add some honey. Once done, let it cool a bit.

  3. Combine and Chill: Gently mix the cooled blueberry sauce into your cheese mixture. Add a pinch of salt for balance, and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.

  4. Serve: Serve this delightful blueberry cheese spread with crackers, fresh fruit, or on your favorite toast. You’re all set to impress!
