Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread – Gourmet Garlic & Herb Dip

by

Instructions:

1. Soften the Dairy Base

Let the cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures they blend smoothly for a creamy texture.

2. Blend to a Creamy Texture

Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and butter in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy. A stand mixer with a paddle attachment works especially well for this.

3. Add Herbs and Seasonings

Add the parsley, chives, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, and vinegar. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed throughout the cheese base.

4. Shape and Chill

Line a 1-cup measuring cup (or small bowl) with plastic wrap. Spoon the cheese mixture into the lined cup, pressing down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Fold over the excess plastic wrap to cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

5. Serve or Store

Once chilled, gently lift the cheese out using the plastic wrap. Unwrap and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve with crackers, fresh vegetables, or as part of a charcuterie board.

To store, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Recipe Notes:

  • Feel free to adjust herbs to your taste—fresh herbs can also be used for a brighter flavor.

  • A touch of lemon juice can be substituted for white vinegar if desired.
