How to Make Fire And Ice Cream Cheese Spread

  1. In a small mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese and 1/4 cup sour cream with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Line a small bowl with plastic wrap or use a 6-ounce ramekin. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the prepared bowl.
  3. Gently press the mixture to remove any air pockets and create an even surface. Smooth with a rubber spatula.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apricot spread and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the spread just begins to melt (about 3 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper (any color).
  7. Let the apricot mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  8. To serve: If using a bowl, carefully invert the cream cheese mixture onto a serving plate, peel off the plastic wrap, and spoon the apricot mixture on top. If using a ramekin, simply top the chilled cream cheese mixture with the apricot mixture.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!
