The holidays this year are going to be different than those of years past. Being close to family and friends in celebration and thanks has never been more important. Comfort and familiarity are going to be important to me during this year’s celebrations. We all have been doing our part to stay safe and keep our loved ones safe as well. That’s why I have recreated a family favorite recipe with some touches of comfort and joy close to our hearts.

I went down to our local Walmart and grabbed some staple items to share love to my sweet family. I grabbed Philadelphia® Original Cream Cheese, Cool Whip® Original Whipped Topping and Maxwell House® Original Roast Medium Ground Coffee. You won’t believe the amount or recipes you can create with these three ingredients, that’s why I always have them in my kitchen. Below is a super easy coffee cream cheese scones recipe that will have everyone at home waking up early to have some.

Our love for Maxwell House® Coffee was the inspiration for the icing topping each scone. You can’t beat the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Imagine biting into a soft cream cheese scone and tasting that coffee icing; it’s absolutely magical. Kraft Heinz® products are familiar tastes that can remind you of happier and simpler times around the table. Nothing brings us more joy than spending those special moments with the ones we love, especially during the holidays.
