Ingredients:
- 1 package of cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 1/2 cup of hot pepper jelly
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese: Start by placing the softened cream cheese into a medium-sized mixing bowl. If your cream cheese isn’t already softened, you can microwave it in short intervals until it’s soft enough to blend easily.
-
Add the Jelly: Next, add the hot pepper jelly to the cream cheese. This jelly will add a delightful sweet and spicy kick to your dip.
-
Mix Until Smooth: Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and hot pepper jelly together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese remaining.
-
Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish as desired. For a truly addictive snack, pair with Bugles or your favorite chips and enjoy the delightful contrast of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors.
Notes:
- Consistency Tip: If you prefer a smoother consistency, continue to beat the mixture until it’s creamy and well-integrated. You can also adjust the amount of hot pepper jelly based on how spicy you like your dip.
- Storage: This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just make sure to cover it well to keep it fresh.
