Notes

For the absolute best Quick Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Dip, start with totally softened cream cheese. Hard cream cheese will result in a lumpy, uneven dip. Try different flavors of pepper jelly to find your favorite combination. For a spicier kick, use a hotter pepper jelly. If you want a smoother texture, whip the cream cheese with a mixer for a few minutes before adding the pepper jelly. This will make the dip even more spreadable. Don't be afraid to get creative with your garnishes! A sprinkle of fresh chives or a drizzle of honey can add extra flavor and visual appeal. And finally, this dip is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled - avoid freezing for the best results.
