Spruced-Up Cheese Spread image

A neighbor who's a wonderful cook gave me the recipe for this zippy cracker spread. It's easy to shape into a Christmas tree for a festive occasion, but it looks enticing in a bowl or on a plate, too. -Judy Grimes, Brandon, Mississippi

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheese spread turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much milk.

This cheese spread is a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cream cheese next time.

I love the addition of the lemon zest. It really brightens up the flavor of the cheese spread.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spruce tips. But I'm so glad I did! The spruce tips add a really subtle flavor that's really nice.

This cheese spread is so versatile. I've used it on crackers, sandwiches, and even as a dip for vegetables.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cheese spread turned out perfectly. It was a little too spicy for my taste, but I just added some more cream cheese to tone it down.
