Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
- Incorporate Raspberry Jam: Gently fold in the raspberry jam. For a marbled effect, fold lightly to leave swirls; for a consistent texture, mix fully into the dip.
- Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired, adding a fresh and vibrant touch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- For a sweeter dip, increase powdered sugar slightly.
- Fresh raspberries are optional but recommended for garnish and added freshness.
- Store leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with graham crackers, cookies, or assorted fresh fruit for dipping.
