This recipe for cranberry jalapeno cream cheese dip makes the perfect holiday appetizer with its bright green and red colors. Spoon on top of crostini with goat cheese or cream cheese for a different option!
Take the package of cream cheese out and let it sit at room temperature about 20 minutes to soften and make it easier to spread in your bowl and make a little well for the sauce.
Meanwhile, make the cranberry sauce and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle half the green onions on top of the cream cheese. Spoon warm cranberry sauce over the cream cheese and top with green onions. Serve warm or cover and place in the fridge for about an hour to cool everything down. Serve with crackers, triscuits, or crostini.
Notes
Philadelphia, Organic Valley, and a lot of "organic" store brands like Publix make a great block cream cheese with minimal ingredients!
If using a cranberry sauce you've already made, reheat over the stove and stir in the jalapeno while simmering.
