Severed Hand Raspberry Chipotle Cream Cheese Dip

 

Make a block of cream cheese appear like a severed hand by cutting it

to shape. Then top with a mixture of raspberry preserves, adobo

sauce, and vinegar for an eerie, but tasty dip.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 8-ounce package cream cheese

5 smoked almonds

1 cup raspberry preserves

1-1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers in adobo

sauce

1-1/2 tablespoons raspberry vinegarWheat or melba crackers

Method

Place cream cheese in center of serving platter. Using a sharp knife,

cut 4 lengthwise slits in cream cheese, equally spaced, approximately

halfway down the block of cream cheese, cutting all the way through

the block of cream cheese. Using your hands, shape five " fingers "

from the cut sections of the cream cheese. Round off opposite end of

block of cream cheese to resemble palm. Place smoked almonds at the

tip of each finger to resemble fingernails. In a small bowl, stir

together raspberry preserves, adobo sauce, and raspberry vinegar.

Pour raspberry mixture over palm end of cream cheese. Serve with

wheat or melba crackers.

 

This is so easy and my daughters friends thought this was so cool,

not to mention they ate it all! - Laura
