How to Make Pecan Maple Bagel Schmear

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces (113g) of reduced-fat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If using a whisk, this may take a little more elbow grease!
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
  4. For a thinner consistency, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the perfect spreadable texture. (Note: If using regular cream cheese, you may need to add more milk.)
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve on your favorite bagel and enjoy!
