This is how to soften cream cheese…

You that moment when you need the soft butter or cream cheese for your favorite recipe? Most recipes that use cream cheese require you to let it soften first. Who remembers to set it out on the counter? I know I’m first off too busy and secondly forgetful since having my kids. There are just too many things on my mind. And sometimes you just want to satisfy a cream cheesy craving.

  1. Remove all packaging.

  2. Place on a plate, be sure to check if it’s microwave-proof… one time I accidentally used one of my vintage plates and it shattered in the microwave :(

  3. Microwave for about 15 seconds and check

  4. Repeat until softened

Enjoy!
