Step 1
Start by slicing the pears in half and scooping out the seeds with a melon baller. If your pears are on the firmer side, slice them pretty thin—about 1/8 inch thick. For softer pears, go a little thicker, around 1/4 inch. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until everything is smooth and creamy. I like to use a stand mixer for this, but a hand mixer or even a whisk will work if you don’t have one. Once your dip is ready, serve it alongside the pear slices for a simple and tasty treat.
Why you’ll love it
This dip combines the creamy richness of cream cheese with the warm, sweet spice of cinnamon. It’s quick to make and adds a comforting flavor that pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of fresh pears. It’s a simple way to elevate a healthy snack or dessert.
How to serve
This dip is great served chilled alongside sliced pears. It also pairs well with apple slices, graham crackers, or cinnamon sugar pita chips. For a festive touch, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again, as the ingredients may settle or firm up slightly when chilled.
