This Creamy Cranberry Jalapeño Dip is my secret weapon at any party! It has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy from the dried cranberries and fresh jalapeño pepper, with a little sharpness from the cheese. It’s not your run-of-the-mill dip— it’s bold, flavorful and different, yet simple enough to whip up in under 10 minutes. No fuss and no frills, just straight up deliciousness!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: About 2 cups

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temp
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons cranberry juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey (or 1 tablespoon white sugar)
  • 1/3 cup shredded Asiago cheese or White Cheddar
  • 1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Add the sour cream and whisk for about 2-3 minutes until it’s light and fluffy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl during this process.
  2. Add in the cranberry juice, honey, and shredded cheese and whip until fully combined. The cream cheese mixture should have a pinkish hue.
  3. Fold in the diced cranberries, jalapeno, and chives with a spatula. Taste and add salt as needed. Place the cranberry jalapeno dip in a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to develop.
