Whipped Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Spread

"Some mornings and some breakfast items (looking at you, bagels) call for a classic schmear. Others call for a spread with some real excitement behind it... A spread that brings an element of “sweet springtime surprise” to the table... A spread like Trader Joe’s Whipped Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Spread. Inspired by the seasonally suggestive dessert for which it’s named, this Spread is a clever combination of tangy Whipped Cream Cheese (already Carrot Cake-coded in its own right) and classic Carrot Cake components—the key contributors here being dried carrots, carrot powder, brown sugar, and a proprietary pinch of warm spices.

This Whipped Carrot Cake Cream Cheese is sweet (but not “frosting” sweet), flecked with bits of carrot, and effortlessly easy to Spread atop anything your heart desires. Of course, bagels—Plain and Cinnamon Raisin in particular—are an obvious match. We’d also suggest playing into its sweet side, spreading it atop toasted Brioche, pancakes, and homemade muffins. It’s even fluffy enough to function as a decadent dip for Graham Cracker Squares, fresh fruit, and/or Speculoos Cookies! Consider this your cue to hop over to our refrigerators and grab a tub today, while supplies last."
