This two-layer dip is certain to steal the show at your next party this holiday season! It's kind of like a cold winter version of my low carb pizza dip! Cool cream cheese is topped with fruity, zingy, fresh cranberries. The combination is absolutely fantastic! The cranberry layer can be prepared in advance, and then quickly assembled before the party. The carbohydrate count is higher than most dips on this site – and this almost entirely comes from the cranberries. I can justify it by saying that this dip will go FAST once your guests discover it, so you might not get very much! 🙂

How to Make a Cranberry and Cream Cheese Dip
To make this dip, add fresh cranberries, de-seeded jalapeños, and fresh cilantro to a food processor.
Pulse a few times then add lemon juice and low carb sweetener (Lakanto, granular Swerve, or similar). Process until smooth, then transfer to a bowl and keep in the fridge until required.
To serve, spread some softened cream cheese onto a plate, and top with the cranberry mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with celery, cucumber sticks or homemade tortilla chips. Or try these low carb flaxseed crackers!
