Notes
- Transfer to a piping bag or squeeze bottle for more elegant and precise serving, especially for appetizers or garnishing.
- You can use dried herbs, though you'll want to use about ⅓ the amount compared to fresh.
- Works equally well with low-fat or whipped cream cheese varieties.
- If mixture seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or sour cream to achieve desired spreadability.
