Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz Boursin cheese
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine Boursin cheese and whipped cream: In a medium bowl, use a spatula or mixer to blend the Boursin cheese and whipped cream together until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the dip.
- Fold in cranberries, pecans, honey, and lemon juice: Gently fold the fresh cranberries, chopped pecans, honey, and lemon juice into the cheese mixture to evenly distribute the ingredients without deflating the whipped cream.
- Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.
- Serve: Transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl and offer with crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping, creating a perfect party appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding.
- Use fresh cranberries; dried cranberries will alter the texture and sweetness.
- You can prepare this dip a few hours ahead of time to let the flavors deepen.
- If preferred, substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
