No-Bake Cranberry Cheese Dip
Layered dip with cream cheese, cranberries simmered with Chambord liqueur, and chopped pecans
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cranberry Layer
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Chambord liqueur
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Cream Cheese Layer
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Then place the mixture into a 6 x 8-inch dish and smooth with a spoon. Place into the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
Cranberry Layer
- Place the sugar, Chambord, orange juice, and cranberries in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat on medium heat and cook until the cranberries burst. Using a masher, tamp the berries to help break them. Cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool for a few minutes. Then move the mixture into the refrigerator to chill. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- After the cranberries chill, spoon them over the cold cream cheese layer and sprinkle pecans over the cranberry layer.
- Serve with cinnamon pita chips or graham crackers.
