Keto Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread

Plain and simple, this cream cheese spread is chock-full of Keto-friendly vegetables. When you make the recipe at home, you’re leaving behind any unnecessary processed ingredients that would be added to commercial cream cheese spreads. Plus, the vegetables included in this recipe have your needs more in mind. The key to delicious cream cheese spread worth making is getting the texture just right. You’ll use a stand mixer to whip block cream cheese to a light-as-air spread before adding hand-shredded Keto vegetables. A savory spice blend adds the extra flavor you want in any vegetable cream cheese. Once it’s made, store the cream cheese in an airtight container in your refrigerator for as long as you would keep the original block of cream cheese used in the ingredient list.

Make Without A Stand Mixer

If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can still make the recipe. It will, however, require a little more elbow grease. First, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you mix it. You may either use a food processor to blend the cream cheese or use a fork to smash and mix it in a bowl. Shredded vegetables and seasonings will need to be mixed in by hand using a spatula.

Recipe Uses

There are so many ways you can use this recipe! The simplest way is to dip Fresh Keto vegetables in the cream cheese as a snack. Seasonal vegetables can include mushroom caps, celery sticks, broccoli, cauliflower, and cucumber slices. At breakfast or lunchtime, spread the cream cheese on your Carb Manager Keto Bagels or any of Carb Manager’s wraps and sandwiches. Incorporate a spoonful of vegetable cream cheese spread when you make Keto sushi, deviled eggs, or lox rollups.

  • Step 1

    Pull your cream cheese out in advance to soften at room temperature. Microwaving won’t be helpful, since it will make the cream cheese too soft. Once the cream cheese is no longer cold, mix it in a stand mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes until it is light and extra creamy. You may need to use a spatula to scrape down your mixing bowl periodically throughout the mixing. If you don’t own a stand mixer, check the introduction for suggestions.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    While the cream cheese is whipping, you can prepare the vegetables. Use a cheese grater to shred clean mushrooms and whole celery stalk into fine shreds. The celery in particular will yield extra liquid and you’ll be discarding much of the fibers. You can also use a kitchen knife to mince these ingredients, but using a cheese grater will save you a lot of time. Add the shredded vegetables and chopped pimentos to the stand mixer.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Mix the ingredients together. Scrape your mixing bowl down one final time, then mix in all the remaining ingredients. Once the vegetable cream cheese spread is consistent without any white streaks, you can stop mixing. Transfer the cream cheese spread to a sealed container to chill in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This time is included in the preparation time of the recipe.
