Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish
- Fresh raspberries (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a perfect texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl, then continue mixing until the mixture is fully combined and fluffy.
- Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves, distributing them evenly throughout the dip without breaking down the fruit too much.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and chill the dip thoroughly.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with additional fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the dip.
- For a sweeter dip, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar according to your taste.
- This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
