Equipment

Large bowl
Hand mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese softened to room temperature (Note 1)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter softened to room temperature (Note 2)
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon EACH: dried basil, dried dill, marjoram, dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Add the softened cream cheese and butter to a large bowl with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until combined and slightly fluffy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and all of the spices. Blend again for 1 minute until they’re evenly distributed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Transfer the boursin cheese to a serving bowl and serve right away at room temperature with crackers, chips, or veggies. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. Allow the dip to warm slightly before serving to soften or use it immediately in your favorite recipes like boursin chicken or boursin cheese pasta.

Notes

Note 1. Cream Cheese. We also tested this with dairy-free cream cheese and it was delicious. We used Kite Hill dairy-free cream cheese.

Note 2. Butter. You can use salted butter, just omit the salt from the recipe. We also tested this with Myokos vegan butter; the result was just as rich and creamy.
