Block Cream Cheese Appetizer

Easy Block Cream Cheese Appetizer Spreads that make a tasty last-minute appetizer with just a few ingredients.

 

I adore quick party appetizers that are easy to put together but tastes like a million bucks!

You can take an ordinary block of cream cheese, add one or two simple ingredients and crackers and you have an appetizer in minutes. Add either sweet or savory toppings with appropriate crackers or cookies and take the stress out of entertaining or that potluck party.

French Quarter Pecan Cheese Spread Recipe is a unique mix of sweet and savory pecan praline sauce served over cream cheese.

You can simply pour the Pecan Praline Sauce over the block of cream cheese or spread the cream cheese thinly into a pretty serving tray.

Also, try a good prepared Pesto over cream cheese and serve with a savory cracker like Triscuits or reduced fat Triscuits.

Horsey Cranberry Sauce is another delicious and beautiful cream cheese appetizer.

Easy Block Cream Cheese Appetizer Spreads – Sweet

For an easy, sweet dessert dip you can use Strawberry Pie Filling.(Jump over to this post to see all my suggestions on pie filling.)

I find Townhouse Pita Crackers Sea Salt are sturdy, lightly salted, and don’t have any weird flavors going on that will conflict with the dessert dip. For dessert dips, I also like to use graham crackers or shortbread cookies as dippers.

Additionally, lemon curd and orange curd are great dessert dips over cream cheese. Go here for homemade Lemon Curd recipe.

Caramel and Toffee chips make another wonderful sweet dip.
