Description
A delicious and creamy cranberry whipped feta dip perfect for serving with crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries (or 1/2 cup cranberry sauce)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- A selection of crackers for serving
Instructions
- Begin by placing the crumbled feta and softened cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually incorporate the fresh cranberries (or cranberry sauce), honey, lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder into the bowl. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined and the dip is velvety.
- Sample the dip and, if you prefer a sweeter taste, stir in additional honey to your liking.
- Spoon the creamy feta mixture into a decorative serving dish and top with a generous sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
- Enjoy the dip right away with your choice of crackers, or let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for some heat.
- Feel free to swap out the cranberries for roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes to create a unique twist on this dip.
