I’ve had this dip before and it is delish. I wanted it to be moldable so I used approx 2-3 Oz. of softened cream cheese and 2/3 cup mayo instead of the full cup of mayo. I mixed everything else as directed. I lined an oval container with plastic wrap.and packed mixture inside. I refrigerated well and then turned onto an attractive plate. Topped with raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, and finely sliced green onion.
I love that! Thank you so much for sharing those tips. I’m sure that someone else would love to use that tweak.
What a fun idea! I’ve never thought to make raspberry dip before. My kids are going to love this!
I’m so glad – hope you love it like we do! Make sure to come back and let me know!
I make the same recipe but instead of the raspberry jam, which I think may be a little too sweet, I spread a jar of red pepper jelly on top. It is absolutely amazing! It is sweet with a little heat. It will blow your mind!
Sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
The jam is actually delicious with it! Perfect combo of sweet & savory!
Agreed. Thank you for commenting!
I have done this before and decorated it with fresh raspberries. Delicious!
You can’t go wrong with fresh raspberries!
I wonder if anyone has made this with sour cream or maybe 1/2 C sour cream, 1/2C mayo or possibly cream cheese? I’m having a hard time getting past the 1 cup of mayonnaise. Seems like it would be overpowering and taste too much like mayonnaise.
Hi, I can understand that it seems like a lot. It turns out great, I promise! But I haven’t experimented with your suggestions, but I’d love to hear how they turn out if you do. You could substitute greek plain yogurt, that would be my suggestion. Make sure to let us know how it turns out!
I made this last night for a Christmas party. My family loved it. I used the seedless jam, but that’s the only thing I changed. Thanks for a great recipe!
Hi Ginger! I’m so glad your family loved this dip! Yay! Merry Christmas!

Exactly as you said, I was a little unsure, but with good reviews, I had to try it…and it looks so festive! My family loved it, and I was told I can and should make it again. THANKS!
Best if you use Palmers seedless raspberry
Does it matter, mayo or Miracle Whip?
one of the best things about your blog, besides the killer recipes, is that there is a PRINTABLE Recipe. THANKS and keep on posting!
