Notes

For the absolute best results, opt for a full-fat cream cheese. Consider both the level of spice and the sweetness of the pepper jelly to complement your preferences. If you prefer a milder dip, select a mild or sweet pepper jelly. For a kick, a hotter variety will add a delightful zing. Remember to soften the cream cheese properly before mixing to avoid lumps. A hand mixer can expedite the process. Don't be afraid to experiment with garnishes - a sprinkle of chopped pecans or a drizzle of honey can add extra layers of flavor and visual appeal.
