Why is it that – when it comes to fruity cream cheese flavors – berries get all of the fun? I’ve seen blueberry & strawberry cream cheese… but never a tropical-inspired variety.
That all changes now with this delightfully different mango coconut cream cheese.
Slightly sweet, pale yellow-hued, and reminiscent of leisurely tropical breakfasts, this cream cheese is definitely worth trying if you like fruity spreads on your bagels; and because the rich cream cheese is balanced out by juicy fresh fruit, you don’t have to worry about the fat content.

Instructions
Combine room-temperature cream cheese and chopped mango in a mini food processor (or blender) fitted with the steel blade. Process until very smooth and fully combined.
