Ingredients
Cheesecake Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Topping
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a bowl, add the softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the mixture until it’s fully combined and smooth. Set this mixture aside for the next step.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate clean bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream for 2-3 minutes until medium peaks form, meaning the cream holds its shape but is still soft and creamy.
- Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream. Continue folding until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Assemble and Swirl: Spread the cheesecake dip into a wide, shallow bowl. Spoon the strawberry jam evenly over the top. Use a knife to swirl the jam through the dip creating a beautiful marbled effect.
- Serve or Store: Serve the dip immediately with graham crackers, fresh fruit, or your favorite dippers. Alternatively, store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- This dip is best served chilled for a firmer consistency.
- You can substitute strawberry jam with any berry or fruit jam of your choice.
- For a lighter version, use whipped topping instead of heavy cream, although texture may vary.
- If cream cheese isn’t sufficiently softened, the mixture may be lumpy—soften it by leaving it at room temperature for 30 minutes before preparing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
