Its a family favorite, passed down from culinary royalty.

Needless to say, this recipe has a pretty cool history!

I wanted to make a version of this that was still delicious but didnt require any blending or chilling.

you might truly put this together in five minutes, right before your guests arrive.

Serve with a spreading knife and some crackers.

Its easily spreadable straight out of the tub, and no softening is required.

Thats a big part of what makes this recipe so fast and easy to pull off last minute!

As for the chutney, I likeTrader Joe’s Sri Lankan Mango Chutney.

Its got a nice hit of warm spices with bits of diced mango throughout.
