Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. This ensures a rich, even texture for the dip.
- Mix in Sweeteners and Flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Incorporate Raspberry Jam: Gently fold in the raspberry jam. You can swirl it lightly to create a marbled appearance or mix it completely for a uniform flavor.
- Transfer and Garnish: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. If desired, garnish the top with fresh raspberries for added freshness and visual appeal.
- Chill Before Serving: Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and improves the dip’s consistency for serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dip.
- For a tangier flavor, use raspberry preserves instead of jam.
- Serve with fresh fruit, crackers, or cookies for a versatile appetizer or dessert.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best quality.
