1 cup cream cheese, softened (or 1 cup tofu cream cheese)
1 teaspoon real maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins (read NOTE) or 1/4 cup currants (read NOTE)
1/4 cup toasted almonds or 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

*NOTE: If you wish, you can coarsely chop the raisins before adding to the other ingredients. I preferred the texture better when the raisins were chopped.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, maple syrup, lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until creamy and smooth.
Stir in the raisins and nuts. Cover well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
