Time 55m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup apricot jam
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell peppers

Steps:

In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream with an electric mixer until well blended.
Spoon mixture into a small bowl lined with plastic wrap or a 6-ounce ramekin.
Press mixture slightly to get rid of any air pockets; smooth evenly with rubber scraper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm slightly.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat fruit spread and red pepper flakes over medium heat until spread just begins to melt, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in bell pepper.
Let cool to room temperature.
To serve, if using bowl, invert mixture onto a serving plate, remove plastic wrap, and spoon apricot mixture on top.
If using ramekin, top cream cheese mixture with apricot mixture.
