How To Serve Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip?
When it comes to serving this incredibly easy cream cheese dip, the options are almost endless!
Serve it as a dip: For the perfect holiday party dip, simply allow the mixture of sit out and get to room temperature. This will give you a great soft consistency, perfect for scooping with your favorite crackers.
Give the presentation a little pizzazz by grabbing your favorite, serving platter, glassware, and a box of assorted crackers. Within minutes you’ll have people thinking your dish came right out of a restaurant kitchen.
Serve it as a spread: Feeling like a spread instead of another dip? The solution is easy! Just replace the orange juice with 2 teaspoons of orange zest. Then, boom you’ve transformed the recipe into an amazing cheese spread.
Serve it up as a cheese ball, by wrapping the mixture in plastic wrap and shaping it into a ball prior to chilling. Then all you have to do it place it on a platter with a cheese knife and some crackers and watch people devour your delicious creation.
Can I Customize This Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip?
Of course! I love giving you guys flexible recipes, so they can be adjusted to your own preferences. Here are some of my top suggestions for substitutes and customizations. If you have any other ideas, make sure to drop them in the comments!
Skip the goat cheese: If the thought of goat cheese freaks you out, no worries I have you covered. Just skip the goat cheese and replace it with more cream cheese.
I will say though that you shouldn’t knock the goat cheese until you try it. It really adds great flavor to the dip.
Try a mixed berry blend: If you’re looking for a little variety, try mixing some other dried berries in with the cranberries. Cherries and blueberries would be a heavenly addition.
Add chopped nuts: For those that love a little crunch in a dip, try adding some finely chopped nuts. You can’t go wrong with a little bit on pecans or walnuts.
For amounts, I would just eyeball it adding a little at a time until you have enough to evenly distribute through the mixture.
