TIPS:

  • You need to balance the ratio of cranberry & jalapeno as per your taste preference so that you get the perfect ratio of sweetness & hotness in your dip.
  • Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator ~thirty minutes before using. This small step will make the work easier for you.
  • Earlier preparation & refrigeration before serving will give you the best results.
  • To achieve the fresh feel, use fresh veggies like green onions, lime juice & herbs.

STORAGE DETAILS:

NOTE:

  • For better texture, prepare the cranberry-jalapeno topping two days earlier & store it chilled. Quickly assemble with cream cheese right before serving.

REFRIGERATION:

  • Keep the dip(leftover) in a box(sealed). Refrigerate it & consume it anytime you crave it within ~three(3) days.

FREEZING:

  • Freezing & then defrosting will ruin the texture of cream cheese. That’s the reason we never advise you to freeze this dip.

FAQs:

Will you get the dip spicy?

  • Jalapeno will make it spicy. If you want to keep it spicier, use the full jalapeno popper with seeds. If you can’t tolerate the heat, then use only half a jalapeno without seeds.

How can you serve this dip?

  • This dip will pair perfectly with cheese crisps, keto crackers, strips of bell peppers, pork rinds, celery, & sliced cucumbers
