Instructions
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Chop the jalapeños finely, removing seeds if you prefer a milder heat. Measure out your cranberries—fresh or dried both work well—though opt for sugar-free varieties for a keto-friendly option.
Start Cooking: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the chopped jalapeños and cranberries. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine and Finish Cooking: Add the garlic powder and lemon juice to the mix. Continue to blend until everything is creamy and uniform in texture. Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed—perhaps a little more garlic or lemon juice to suit your palate.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions and additional cranberries if desired. This dip is perfect served cold with keto-friendly crackers, vegetables, or even as a spread on low-carb bread.
