Servings

8–10 servings

Ingredients

16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
1 cup strawberry jam
1 cup sour cream
½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of a 2–4 quart slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Add the Ingredients

Cut the softened cream cheese into chunks and place them in the slow cooker.

Spoon the strawberry jam over the cream cheese, then add the sour cream and granulated sugar on top.

Step 3: Stir Lightly

Gently stir the ingredients just enough to start combining. The mixture does not need to be smooth yet.

Step 4: Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 1½–2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the dip is hot, smooth, and creamy and the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 5: Final Stir and Adjust

Once fully melted, stir well to remove any remaining lumps. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more jam or sugar.

Step 6: Serve

Serve warm directly from the slow cooker set to WARM, or transfer to a serving bowl.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with:

Graham crackers
Vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies
Pretzels for a sweet-salty contrast
Fresh strawberries, apples, or banana slices
