Steps:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened. Leave it out at room temperature for 1 hour, or place it on a plate in the microwave, cook 5 seconds, flip over the block of cheese and cook another 5 seconds. (If it's not room temperature at this point, cook another few seconds, but air on the conservative side.)
- Chop the herbs. Mix everything together in a bowl, adding a little Greek yogurt, milk or sour cream 1 tablespoon at a time if you'd like a fluffier, more spreadable texture (we used 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt).
- Make whipped cream cheese by adding 1/2 tablespoon milk and whipping the cream cheese in a food processor or stand mixer. Then add the chopped herbs and pulse until combined.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy spread.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overmix the cream cheese spread. Overmixing can make the spread too stiff.
- Chill the cream cheese spread for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up.
- Serve the cream cheese spread with a variety of crackers, bread, or vegetables.
