Ingredients
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese (softened)
- 10 ounces pepper jelly
- Prepare the cream cheese: Remove the cream cheese from its wrapper and place it in the center of a medium-sized plate to create a base for the topping.
- Smooth the pepper jelly: Stir the pepper jelly in its jar thoroughly until it becomes smooth and easy to spread, ensuring an even layer over the cream cheese.
- Assemble the appetizer: Pour the pepper jelly over the cream cheese, spreading it evenly so that the top and all sides are covered with the jelly for a balanced sweet and spicy flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- This appetizer is best served chilled; refrigerate for about 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
- Pair with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for a complete snack.
- You can substitute pepper jelly with other flavors like jalapeño jelly for different spice levels.
- Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier spreading and better texture.
