Lay the cream cheese on a cutting board and flatten.
Add a layer of berries on top with sugar, and a pinch of salt.
With a flat spatula, fold the cream cheese over the fruit and pat down. Repeat five times until ingredients are incorporated.
To test, run a finger across the cream cheese. If it’s mixed enough, you won’t see pure white.
Adjust sugar to taste.
Refrigerate any leftovers. Best served the day it's made.
You can use this method for any of the other mix-ins listed on this post!

I made this with just blueberries and it started to turn a little brown after a few hours in the fridge. It was tasty though! Any tips on keeping the bright color?

I could SWEAR you once did a post with a rainbow of cream cheeses for a bagels and lox spread. Did I dream it? Wishful thinking maybe? Or maybe it was another blogger? You're the only Jewish food blogger I follow. Cheers!
