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.

First course and party food.

Additionally, lemon curd (Lemon pie filling works too) and orange curd are great dessert dips over cream cheese. Go here for a homemade Lemon Curd recipe.

  1. Love this recipe! I’ve been looking for a new appetizer to bring to our next dinner party and this block cream cheese appetizer looks perfect. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of crackers or bread would go well with it?

  2. I just made this for my book club gathering and it was a huge hit! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. I used a garlic scallion cream cheese and it really added a nice depth to the dish. Can’t wait to make it again!

  3. We also like the roasted pineapple habanero sauce with the block cream cheese, another option is thin sliced green onions with honey poured over block cream cheese, (spicy or regular honey) itโ€™s a really good choice. But really, you are only limited to your own imagination.
