Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing. Leave it out at room temperature for about an hour before starting.

Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix in other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor and creaminess.

Add Heat: If you like it spicy, consider adding diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the mixture.
