Steps:
- Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix until thoroughly incorporated. The cream cheeses will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
- For the Carrot Cardamom Cream Cheese: Place carrot juice and cardamom in a small saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the juice and discard the cardamom pods. Let juice cool. Add half of the carrot juice to the cream cheese (reserve the rest for another use) and mix well. Add salt to taste.
FLAVORED CREAM CHEESES - 5 DIFFERENT FLAVORS
Vegetables with flavored cream cheese piped on top are more elegant take on crudites. Each combination will make enough to pipe out cream cheese for about 28 large crudities, such as 4"-inch long celery strip, or 15 dozen smallest crudities, such as cucumber slices. Use slices of round vegetables, baby carrots halved lengthwise, or vegetables like endive that naturally hold the filling. Other: suggestions: Pea Pods, or Radishes. This came from Martha Stewart's Hors D' Oeuvres Handbook. I have not tried these, just posting for future use.
