Ingredients & Substitutions
Here are the simple ingredients that you'll need to make this easy raspberry jalapeno cheese dip. If you're looking for ingredient amounts, scroll to the bottom for the printable recipe card.
- Roth Creamy Havarti: This cheese is super buttery and melts like a dream. If you can’t find it, white cheddar or even fontina will work.
- Cream cheese: Make sure it’s at room temp so it blends smoothly. You can sub with whipped cream cheese or even mascarpone if you want an even fluffier texture.
- Sour cream: This adds a nice tang and loosens up the dip. Greek yogurt or even mayo would work in a pinch.
- Raspberry jam: Adds the perfect sweet contrast to the spice. Cranberry, blackberry or strawberry jam could also be fun if you want to switch things up.
- Pickled jalapeños: These bring a vinegary kick and just the right amount of heat. You can use fresh jalapeños if you prefer more heat, or candied jalapeños for a sweeter twist. You do you, babe.
