Let the cream cheese soften completely before mixing. This creates a lighter, fluffier spread and helps evenly distribute all the crunchy bits from the chili crisp. For an extra whipped texture, use a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes.
Cream cheese is rich and tangy, making it the perfect base for Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp. The creamy texture balances the spice while the crunchy peanuts, toasted coconut, slow-cooked onions, roasted spices, and Guntur chilies add flavor and texture to every bite. It's one of our favorite ways to elevate an everyday bagel.
