Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip Recipe
This Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip Recipe will quickly become a family favorite and one you will bring to all your holiday parties and pot lucks. You can make this with traditional cranberry sauce of the can or make you own sugar free cranberry sauce with this recipe. Cranberry sauce can be made a day in advance.

You can also turn this cranberry sauce into cranberry salsa by adding peppers, cranberries, and green onions on the stove top. It is sweet and savory flavor that is unbeatable. Then, add 1 tbsp of Beef Gelatin to make Cranberry Pepper Jelly.
Sugar Free Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip Ingredients
- 2 Bricks Room Temperature Cream Cheese
- 12 ounces Cranberries
- 3/4 cup water
- 8 drops Orange Essential Oil
- 1 Cup Confectionary Swerve
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Room Temperature Cream Cheese
Start by taking 2 blocks of cream cheese out of the fridge so that it has time to become room temperature.
How to Make Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce?
Start by heating a medium pot on high heat on the stove top.
Add 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, 3/4 cup of water, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1 cup of confectionary swerve.
Then, add 8 drops of orange essential oil or 1 tsp of orange zest. I know a lot of people use orange juice in their cranberry sauce, but orange juice is filled with sugar.
You can easily make this homemade cranberry sauce in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
Mix the cranberries with the water, swerve, 1/8 tsp salt, and orange zest or orange essential oil.
Then, allow the cranberries to boil.
Once it boils, lower the heat and set a timer for 15 minutes.
Keep stirring to make sure that the cranberries do not burn.
At 15 minutes, take the pot off the heat and add the 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Allow the cranberry sauce to cool.
