Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block cream cheese
- 1 jar pepper jelly
- Butter crackers for serving
Instructions
- Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving to soften.
- Place the cream cheese on a serving plate and gently shape it into a neat block or dome.
- Spoon the pepper jelly over the top of the cream cheese, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Arrange butter crackers around the dip or in a separate bowl nearby.
- Optionally garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
- If the cream cheese is too hard, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to soften.
- Stir thick pepper jelly briefly before pouring to loosen it.
- Taste the pepper jelly first to adjust for desired spice level.
- Prep everything directly on the serving dish to minimize cleanup.
