cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by making the sauce for the cream cheese spread: combine 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce with 3 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of bourbon in a saucepan.

Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute to combine the ingredients, then set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add 1.5 packages of cream cheese.

Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of whipping cream to the cream cheese.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Fold in chopped green onions to the mixture.

Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a serving dish and smooth the top.

Pour the cranberry sauce over the cream cheese spread.

Sprinkle some almonds on top of the dish.

Refrigerate the spread for about 30 minutes before serving, but note that it can sit in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours for best results.
