- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, softened butter, garlic powder, chopped fresh chives, chopped fresh parsley, salt, white pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Mix until smooth: Use an electric hand mixer to blend all ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.

- Refrigeration helps the cheese firm up for easier spreading and serving.
- Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator and consume within 5-7 days for best freshness.
