Recipe: Reduced Fat Hazelnut Cream Cheese Spread (NOT Panera's)

Reduced Fat Hazelnut Cream Cheese Spread (NOT Panera's)

"I love all of the gourmet flavored cream cheeses that you find in the trendy bagel shops now, so I decided to try a few recipes of my own. They are so easy, and when you make them yourself, you can control the amount of fat and salt or sugar!"

16 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
1/2 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup hazelnuts

In a food processor, chop nuts until fine, add all other ingredients and pulse until combined.
