Ingredients

Scale

For the Whipped Feta:

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Cranberry Layer:

  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional, for brightness)

For the Hot Honey Drizzle:

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to heat preference)

For Serving:

  • Pita chips, crostini, or fresh vegetables
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Whipped Feta: In a food processor or blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
  2. Prepare the Hot Honey: In a small bowl, mix honey with red chili flakes. Let sit for a few minutes to infuse the honey with a subtle spicy heat.
  3. Assemble the Dip: Spread the whipped feta onto a serving plate in a thick, even layer. Spoon the cranberry sauce evenly over the whipped feta. Sprinkle with orange zest if using, to add a bright citrus aroma.
  4. Finish & Garnish: Drizzle the hot honey generously over the cranberry layer. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a fresh herby finish.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately with pita chips, crostini, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Best enjoyed fresh for maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use whole berry cranberry sauce for texture or homemade cranberry sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes in the hot honey to control the heat level.
  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute feta and yogurt with vegan alternatives.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to add visual appeal and fresh flavor.
