This homemade Boursin cheese recipe is a creamy, flavorful spread made from cream cheese, butter, and fresh herbs. Perfect for serving with crackers or vegetables, it offers a delightful alternative to store-bought Boursin with fresh garlic, chives, parsley, and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 14 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add 14 ounces of softened cream cheese and ½ cup of softened butter along with 1½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon white pepper, and 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  2. Mix Until Smooth: Using an electric hand mixer, blend all the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all herbs and seasonings are well incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate: Line a small bowl with plastic wrap (saran wrap). Spoon the cheese mixture into the lined bowl, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps the cheese hold its shape and allows the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve: After chilling, use your homemade Boursin cheese as a spread for crackers, fresh veggies, or in recipes that call for Boursin cheese. Enjoy at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
  • Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried can be substituted in a pinch—use about one-third the amount.
  • Adjust garlic powder and salt to your taste preferences.
  • Boursin can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
  • Bring the cheese to room temperature before serving for creamier texture and enhanced flavor.
