- Serves: 4; 3 tablespoons per serving
Description
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fat-free whipped cream cheese (in tub)
- 1/4 cup fat-free or light sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-fruit apricot spread
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
Cooking Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until well blended.
Line a 6-ounce ramekin or small bowl with plastic wrap. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the container. Press the mixture lightly to get rid of any air pockets. Smooth the surface with a rubber scraper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm slightly.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook the fruit spread and red pepper flakes over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until the spread just begins to melt, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the bell pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
To serve, if using a ramekin, top the cream cheese mixture
