Instructions

Place the softened cream cheese into a mixing bowl.
Add the jalapeño pepper jelly to the cream cheese. Start with a small amount if you’re unsure about the spice level.
Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to avoid splashing.
Taste the dip and adjust the spice level by adding more pepper jelly if desired.
Serve with your favorite crackers or raw vegetables for dipping.

Notes

This recipe makes about 6 servings, perfect for a small group or family gathering.
If you prefer a less spicy dip, use less jalapeño pepper jelly and add more cream cheese if necessary.
Feel free to experiment with different types of pepper jelly, like raspberry or habanero, for variations in heat and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving if it has been stored for a while.
You can also serve this dip warm, but be careful not to overheat it in the microwave.
