Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 oz cream cheese brick style, softened
Sauce
- 1 jar (12 oz) apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
For Serving
- Pinch crushed chilies (optional)
- Crackers or crostini
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: Transfer the full jar of apricot preserves into a medium-sized bowl. Add the dijon mustard, prepared horseradish, and season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Chill the Sauce (Optional): Optionally refrigerate the sauce for 1 to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld for enhanced taste, or serve immediately if short on time.
- Assemble the Dip: Place a block of softened cream cheese on a serving plate. Pour about half of the prepared sauce over the cream cheese.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of crushed chilies over the top if desired for a spicy kick. Serve the dip with crackers or crostini alongside. Additional sauce can be served on the side.

Notes
- If you have leftover sauce, it can be reused to make another batch of cream cheese dip or used as a glaze to coat meatballs for a sweet and savory main course.
- To soften cream cheese, allow it to rest at room temperature for a few hours. For a quicker method, microwave in 10-15 second intervals until easily scoopable, but avoid overheating to prevent separation.
