This is one of the easiest, most delicious dips on the planet. My mom has been making a Hot Pepper Peach Cheeseball for years now, and it’s the only cheeseball I’ll even consider eating. Let’s face it, they typically are not the healthiest party appetizer because in addition to the cream cheese, you’ll usually find bacon and more shredded cheese mixed in.
Well this is a slight improvement from a standard cheeseball. The main component is still cream cheese, but by choosing the 1/3 less fat variety rather than the full fat, you can save a total of 250 calories and 40 grams of fat. To make a creamier, easier-to-spread-on-your-cracker dip, I added plain Greek yogurt. And there is no need for salt. I repeat…no need for salt.
I served my Creamy Peach Habanero Dip with Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax crackers and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic crackers. If you missed my last post about gluten, read it here. These crackers are perfect to take to a gathering because anyone who follows a strict gluten free diet can enjoy them, and those who eat gluten will enjoy them just as much as regular crackers! Everyone is happy and all is well.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers in the world (especially my Mom!) 🙂
