8 oz cream cheese, well softened

1 TB ground cinnamon
¾ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground cloves

To ensure cream cheese is quite soft prior to using, you can microwave it in 20-second increments. This helps prevent stubborn little bits of cream cheese from refusing to blend in.
