Sweater Weather Dip
A cozy and comforting dip for the chilly days of the year.
you're making mealtime meaningful.
When the days are crisp and the nights are chilly, nothing says savory satisfaction quite like this Sweater Weather dip. A combination of cream cheese, cheese, cranberry sauce, and dried cranberries makes for a balanced and satisfying savory dip.
Here, this savory dip relies on a foundation of cream cheese that’s fortified with sour cream and two types of cheese.
After the cream cheese mixture is whipped up and transferred into the prepared dish, cranberry sauce is spooned and marbled into the cheese mixture.
Topped with the remaining cheese, this dip gets baked until golden on top and bubbling on the sides.
Served immediately, this Sweater Weather is a savory hug of warmth. The cream cheese mixture is ultra smooth and molten. Cheddar cheese provides the sharp flavor, while the mozzarella gives this dip the molten, gooey, and smooth consistency.
Cranberry sauce adds the well-needed reprieve of tart fruitiness. The cranberry sauce and dried cranberries adds an acidity that’s the perfect punch against the cheese, making you want to dip into this dip again and again.
