Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip

Ingredients

• 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup sugar-free or low-sugar pepper jelly (mild or spicy based on preference)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
• 2 tbsp green onions or fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Base

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt (if using).
2. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2: Add the Pepper Jelly

1. If you prefer a layered dip, spread the cheese mixture evenly into a shallow serving dish and spoon the pepper jelly on top.
2. For a blended dip, fold the pepper jelly into the cheese mixture, reserving a tablespoon to drizzle over the top as a garnish.

Step 3: Serve or Warm (Optional)

1. If serving cold, garnish with green onions or parsley, and serve immediately with your choice of dippers.
2. For a warm dip, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through and slightly bubbly.
