Lemony Cream Cheese Spread

I literally whipped this up right before a get-together I hosted a little while back. I was making Cucumber Water so I had plenty of lemons on hand, plus quite a bit of leftover cream cheese after making my Spinach Artichoke Dip. So I added fresh lemon juice to cream cheese, added a little powdered sugar and viola! This recipe is like a cross between a frosting and a spread. Great for serving with muffins or quick breads, like my Banana Blueberry Oat Loaf.

Ingredients:

One eight ounce tub light cream cheese
4 teaspoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Put both ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well by hand or with an electric mixer. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.
