Keep a tub of Philadelphia Original on standby in your fridge this Christmas. Cream cheese is a versatile ingredient for the festive season. Whip it into indulgent cheesecakes, dot it on canapés or spread it on your brunch-time bagels. From party hosting to breakfast ‘toasting’, these three easy recipes cover all kinds of get-togethers with friends. Which will you try first?
If you’re hosting a Christmas dinner, this easy, make-ahead cheesecake with spiced pears is the perfect pud. The creamy, vanilla-flavoured Philadelphia filling sits on top of a crushed ginger biscuit base. Decorate with a wreath of golden pears and orange zest for full-on festive flavour.
We love this easy bagel board for a laid-back brunch with friends. Layer creamy Philadelphia Original on a platter, sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds and top with rich smoked salmon and tangy pickled celery for added crunch. Serve with a pile of toasted bagels and let everyone dig in!
You only need a handful of ingredients to make these mini jacket potatoes. Cut a criss-cross into roasted baby potatoes and then top with a spoonful of creamy Philadelphia Original, bacon bits and some snipped chives. Warming, smoky and crispy, it's a delicious nibble to serve with Christmas party drinks!
