panera honey walnut cream cheese recipe

Last weekend we showed up for an Easter brunch with a dozen bagels and a tub Panera Bread's honey walnut cream cheese spread. Among the comments heard while eating the bagels and cream cheese were:
I could eat this all day.

I can't believe I've never had this cream cheese before! 

I haven't had this in so long. I'd forgotten how good it is!

I absolutely love Panera's Honey Walnut Cream Cheese Spread, and I've been desperate to recreate it since last weekend. In addition to being spread on bagels, I think it would make a fantastic fruit dip!  Here's a fabulous copycat recipe that really tastes just like the real thing!

Recipe for Panera Bread's Honey Walnut Cream Cheese Spread

  • 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese,softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla; try clear vanilla extract to keep the white cream cheese from looking dingy.
  • Dash cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons crushed walnuts

Directions:
Combine cream cheese, honey, brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a food processor blend until smooth. You can also toss it all in a bowl and whip it with a hand blender until fluffy. Stir in the walnuts and refrigerate until it's time to serve it.

Enjoy!

    The first time I made this, I thought it was a little too sweet and soupy. The next time I reduced the amounts of all but the cream cheese and walnuts. This tasted better, but the vanilla gives it an unappetizing grayish color. If I make it again, I may try it without the vanilla.

      Maybe you could try the clear vanilla extract?

      I bet I did use Watkins clear vanilla extract the first time I made this.
