Sweet party dip (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cheesecake Base
01 -
8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
02 -
1 cup (113g) confectioner's sugar, sifted
03 -
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
04 -
1/2 cup (113g) heavy cream, cold from the fridge
→ Topping

1/4 cup (85g) strawberry jam or preserves
→ For Serving
06 -
Graham crackers, broken into pieces for dipping
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Take your time here to get rid of any lumps for the silkiest texture.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until medium peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the cream holds its shape but the tips of the peaks fall over slightly.
03 -
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a light hand until fully incorporated. Don't overmix or you'll lose the fluffiness!
04 -
Spread the fluffy cheesecake mixture into a wide, shallow serving bowl. Spoon the strawberry jam over the top, then use a knife to create pretty swirls throughout the dip.
05 -
Enjoy immediately with graham crackers for dipping, or cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
