- 1/2 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese, sugar, whole berry cranberry sauce, and whipped cream into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Mix: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend all ingredients for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth, well blended, and creamy.

Notes
- If you have leftover cranberry sauce, this recipe is a great way to use it up.
- The dip pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, fresh fruits like apple slices or pears, and a variety of sweet crackers or cookies.
- For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced sugar, but note the texture and sweetness will change.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth consistency.
