8-ounce package Neufchâtel cheese (or cream cheese) at room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons milk
Snack Plate
3 small Persian cucumbers, sliced
1 small bunch radishes, sliced
34 Degrees Cracked Pepper Crisps
Maldon sea salt flakes, or other finishing sea salt
Additional fresh dill
Instructions
Allow cheese to come to room temperature 30 minutes before preparing the snack plate. You should be able to easily indent the package of cheese with a finger when it's ready.
Using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or a whisk, whip the Neufchâtel cheese for 2-3 minutes to add air into the cheese and break up the block. Once the cheese is easily spreadable, add in fresh minced dill and a pinch of salt and whip to combine. If desired, you can thin this further by whipping it with 1 tablespoon of milk at a time.
Slice up cucumbers, radishes, and any other snack vegetables as desired.
Place the whipped dill cream cheese, vegetables, crisps, sea salt flakes and additional dill out on a plate. Urge your friends to assemble crisps with a swipe of the whipped spread, vegetable slices, a sprig of dill and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Notes
Substitute regular cream cheese and other herbs you may have on hand if desired for an easy variation on this recipe.
