I’m so excited to share the absolute best Holiday Cranberry Jalapeno Dip you will ever have. This was inspired by @JesseandLindsey a few years back and I seriously cannot get enough of it. I’ve been bringing it to both Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving and it’s been a huge hit between friends and family.
Hey, speaking of dips, do you have my It’s Saucy E-book? If not, you definitely should!
Now, back to the cranberry jalapeño dip.
Holiday Cranberry Jalapeno Dip
Sweet, Spicy and Cream Cheese?
Yep. It is the perfect blend of sweet and freshness with a little spice from the jalapeños. Then you add it on top of the cream cheese and it is, chef’s kiss.
What can I dip in it?
I set out an assortment of different crackers but you could even use tortilla chips. I also have a feeling this would be really good on a piece of toast. Let me know if you try it!
Do I have to use Monk Fruit?
No, you don’t have to but if you want to make it lower calorie and low carb I like to. I use Splenda’s Monk Fruit that I get off Amazon or at my local grocery store. Otherwise, feel free to use regular sugar.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1/4 cup green onion
- 4 jalapeños
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup monk fruit
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp salt
- (2) 16 oz cream cheese
- Baking dish
- Mixing bowls
Directions:
- Start by chopping 1/4 cup of green onion.
- Next, chop your jalapeños in half and clean out the seeds and veins.
- Continue to dice your jalapeños very finely.
- Then, add your fresh cranberries to a food processor or blender and pulse. Be careful – it’s very easy to over mix and turn it into liquid.
- In a bowl, mix together your cranberries, green onion, jalapeño, 3/4 cup monk fruit, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/8 tsp salt.
- Cover and add to the fridge overnight.
- The following day, simmer all ingredients on low for 5-7 minutes and then let cool.
- In a baking dish, add your cream cheese and spread evenly.
- Lastly, add your cranberry mixture over the top.
