Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

Instructions

1. Layer the Base: Pour the strawberry pie filling or jam into the bottom of a small (2 to 4-quart) slow cooker.

2. Add the Creamy Element: Evenly place the cubes of cream cheese over the top of the strawberries.

3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for about 1.5 to 2 hours. You want the cream cheese to be very soft and the fruit to be bubbly.

4. The Swirl: Open the lid and add the vanilla and almond extracts. Use a wooden spoon to gently stir and swirl the cream cheese into the strawberries. For a marbled look, don’t over-mix; for a consistent dip, stir until smooth.

5. Serve: Switch the slow cooker to the “Warm” setting. Serve directly from the pot with your choice of dippers.
