Steps:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened. Leave it out at room temperature for 1 hour, or place it on a plate in the microwave, cook 5 seconds, flip over the block of cheese and cook another 5 seconds. (If it's not room temperature at this point, cook another few seconds, but air on the conservative side.)
- Chop the herbs. Mix everything together in a bowl, adding a little Greek yogurt, milk or sour cream 1 tablespoon at a time if you'd like a fluffier, more spreadable texture (we used 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt).
- Make whipped cream cheese by adding 1/2 tablespoon milk and whipping the cream cheese in a food processor or stand mixer. Then add the chopped herbs and pulse until combined.

CREAMY GARLIC AND HERB FOOTBALL SPREAD
This spread is irresistible not only for its near-life-size football shape, but for its creamy fluffy texture and bright herb flavor. A layer of ground toasted walnuts and some sour cream stitching complete the look, making this the world's most delicious football.

Steps:
- Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and slowly beat in the heavy cream. Increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth. Beat in 1/2 cup of the sour cream. Beat in the herbs, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Line a medium strainer about 7 1/2 inches in diameter with a few layers of cheesecloth, letting the ends hang over the edges of the strainer. Set the strainer over a bowl. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the strainer and fold the ends of the cheesecloth over the top. Gently flatten with your hands and shape into an oval football. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth up and twist until tight, trying to keep the oval shape of the spread. Place the strainer and bowl in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
- To serve, unwrap the spread and invert onto a serving dish so the rounded side is facing up. Use the cheesecloth to gently reshape the oval and taper the ends to look like a football, then discard the cheesecloth and any liquid in the bottom of the bowl.
- Put the walnuts in a medium skillet set over medium heat and cook, stirring, until they are toasted, about 5 minutes; watch carefully so that they do not burn. Remove from the heat and cool. Sprinkle and press the nuts into the spread so it is covered. Put the remaining 2 tablespoons sour cream in a small resealable plastic bag and snip about 1/8 inch off the end of one corner. Pipe the sour cream over the spread to create the laces of a football. Serve with assorted crackers.
HERBED CHEESE SPREAD
Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.

- Buy the Right Cream Cheese. The cream cheese section of the grocery store offers a lot of options. For this recipe, you want solid cream cheese, not whipped.
- Soften the Cream Cheese. It’s easy to stir the garlic and herbs into softened cream cheese. Plus, when it’s soft, the cream cheese holds on to a little air.
- Select the Garlic. There are two options when it comes to using garlic: fresh or garlic powder. They both taste great but give you different spreads.
- Add the Herbs and Black Pepper. Dried herbs work really well in this recipe. They add good flavor without changing the texture of the cream cheese like fresh herbs can.
- Season to Taste. Taste the cream cheese spread right after you make it. Does it need anything else? This is the time to add a little more garlic or herbs.
