In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or spoon until smooth and creamy.
Add the cranberry and jalapeño:
Mix in the cranberry sauce, chopped jalapeños, and cilantro (if using). Stir until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Optional topping:
For an extra touch, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and place the dip in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
Serve:
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra jalapeño slices or cilantro. Serve with crackers, crostini, or fresh veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, and carrots.
