Step-by-Step Instructions for Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip

  • In a food processor, combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, and Greek yogurt. Pulse the ingredients together for about 1-2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • While the food processor is running, gradually pour in the honey to enhance the dip's sweetness. Blend for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently and let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until cranberries burst.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend if you prefer a smoother texture or leave as is for a chunkier sauce.
  • In a serving bowl, layer the whipped feta dip and spoon the cranberry mixture over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve with your favorite crackers.

Notes

For the best flavor, serve the dip slightly chilled or at room temperature. Adjust sweetness of honey as desired.
