Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip (with or without bacon)
This Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip is the spicy-sweet, melty appetizer that you've been dreaming of. Made with softened blocks of cream cheese and goat cheese, it's topped with a fiery spicy pepper jelly for that addictive flavor explosion. You can also add bacon if you're into that!
Equipment
- 1 Hand Mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl medium size
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 8 oz block Cream Cheese room temperature, soft enough to mix smooth
- 1 8 oz block Goat Cheese room temperature
- ¾ cup Precooked Chopped Bacon 3-3.5 oz shaker or bag, optional
- 1 cup Pepper Jelly apricot habanero or favorite flavor
Instructions
Instructions
- Grab a medium bowl and toss in the cream cheese and goat cheese. You gotta make sure both cheeses are nice and soft. Use a hand mixer or vigorous spoon stir until you get a smooth blend.
- If you want bacon, fold that precooked chopped bacon into the cheese mixture gently so it doesn’t break down too much.
- Next, transfer all that cheesy goodness into your serving dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Pour the pepper jelly slowly over the cheese. Don’t dump it all at once or it’ll love to splash over. Even spread is what you want.
- Cover the dish tightly. Then pop it in the fridge and let it chill for at least 1 hour. This part’s key so flavors get to mingle and meld real good.

Notes
If you don't like bacon or don't eat it, feel free to leave it out of your pepper jelly cheese dip. You can also serve this dip cold but in my opinion, it's better hot!
