Ingredients
Cheesecake Dip
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Combine Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend these ingredients until they are smooth and fully incorporated. Set this mixture aside.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate clean bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using a whisk attachment on a hand or stand mixer, whip the cream for 2 to 3 minutes until it reaches medium peaks, where it holds shape but is still soft.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to carefully combine without deflating the whipped cream, creating a light, fluffy cheesecake dip.
- Add Strawberry Swirl: Spread the cheesecake dip evenly into a wide, shallow bowl. Dollop the strawberry jam on top, then gently use a knife or skewer to swirl the jam through the dip, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the dip immediately with graham crackers for dipping, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This dip can be chilled for a few hours to firm up slightly if preferred.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature prior to mixing.
- Use fresh or quality strawberry jam for the best flavor impact.
- You can substitute strawberry jam with other fruit preserves like raspberry or blueberry for variety.
- Keep the dip refrigerated if not serving immediately, ideally consuming within 2-3 days.
- Serve with graham crackers, fresh fruit, or pretzels for dipping.
