Homemade basil cream cheese is delicious, even just spread on bread. It’s a simple appetizer and you can also use it to make canapés, fill sandwiches, or dress pasta. You prepare it and store it in the refrigerator for 2/3 days. To prepare this sauce, you can use store-bought cream cheese or try making it yourself at home. It’s made with yogurt, and I have to say it doesn’t envy the bought one. You need to prepare it the day before. Now let’s see how to make homemade basil cream cheese, and if you try it, let me know.
