How to Make Jalapeno Cream Cheese

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  2. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Finely chop 1-2 jalapenos (remove seeds and membranes for less heat), and gently stir into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. The longer it sits (up to 24 hours), the more the jalapeno flavor will develop and intensify (Note: it will also become spicier over time).
