Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Because it contains dairy, it should stay chilled until you are ready to use it.
Freezing: Freezing is not ideal for the best texture. Cream cheese spreads can sometimes become grainy or separate slightly after thawing, especially once mixed with other ingredients.
If you do freeze it, store it in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 1 month and thaw it in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving. The flavor should still be fine, but the texture may be less smooth than fresh.
