Description

This Cranberry Jalapeño Dip is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. Made with fresh cranberries, jalapeños, cream cheese, and a touch of sugar, it’s an irresistible appetizer that’s great for holiday parties or any gathering. Serve it with crackers or chips for a crowd-pleasing snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) bag fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, seeds removed, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cranberry Topping:
    • In a food processor, pulse the cranberries until coarsely chopped (be careful not to over-process).
    • Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in sugar, diced jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:
    • Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the bottom of a serving platter or dish.
  3. Assemble the Dip:
    • Spoon the cranberry mixture over the cream cheese layer. Spread evenly to cover the top.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with crackers, tortilla chips, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

  • For a milder dip, use only one jalapeño or remove all the seeds and membranes.
  • You can substitute honey or maple syrup for sugar for a natural sweetener.
  • Refrigerating the cranberry topping overnight enhances the flavors.
