There is absolutely nothing like a bagel and cream cheese. It's incredibly nostalgic for me, something we had growing up often! A lightly toasted bagel, that's warm and soft, with a topping of tangy cream cheese on top is really the ultimate breakfast for me!

And, I love making flavored cream cheese recipes! One of my best friends and roommates for a long time would frequently pick up bagels and cream cheese for us on the weekends. And, she'd go a little wild at the bagel shop (not gonna lie). She's come home with a dozen bagels and multiple containers of gourmet cream cheeses, when it was just the two of us. She introduced me to flavored cream cheese, as growing up, we just had plain. And, let me tell you, if you are not using flavored cream cheese on your bagels, you are missing out!

So, while I have many other popular flavored cream cheese recipes like my Dill Cream Cheese Spread or Cinnamon Honey Cream Cheese Spread, this cream cheese spread with raspberries is becoming a new favorite!
