Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tbsp Butter, melted
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and powdered sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly into the bottom of a serving dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to burst and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Let this cranberry mixture cool completely.
Spread the cooled cranberry mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the serving dish.
In another small bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and the pecans are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the praline mixture over the cranberry layer, ensuring it is spread you evenly across the top.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set.
Serve chilled with crackers, graham crackers, or sliced apples. Enjoy!
