Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces hot pepper raspberry preserves (or any raspberry preserves of your choice)
- Ritz crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese: Unwrap the block of cream cheese and place it on a serving plate. Allow it to soften to room temperature for easier spreading and mixing.
- Add the preserves: Stir the hot pepper raspberry preserves slightly to ensure even consistency, then spoon the preserves evenly over the top of the cream cheese block, creating a layer of sweet and spicy flavor.
- Serve with crackers: Arrange Ritz crackers around the plate or serve them on the side, allowing guests to scoop up the creamy raspberry mixture.
- Store leftovers: Keep the dip refrigerated until ready to serve. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use regular or flavored raspberry preserves to vary the sweetness and spice levels.
- For a smoother dip, soften the cream cheese completely before assembling.
- This dip pairs well with a variety of crackers, pretzels, or sliced fresh fruit.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for best flavor and safety.
