Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Combine Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until medium peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape but still be soft and pliable.
- Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to carefully combine them without deflating the whipped cream, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the combined mixture into a wide serving bowl. Spoon the strawberry jam on top and use a skewer or knife to swirl the jam through the dip for a beautiful marbled effect.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Serve the dip immediately with fresh fruit, cookies, or crackers, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve for a chilled and firmer texture.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother dip.

- For variation, substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or blueberry preserves.
- Best served within 24 hours when refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.
