Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter , room temperature
  • 250g cream cheese , room temperature
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce (optional)

  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup crushed nuts (almonds, pecans or walnuts)

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl add the butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and ground pepper.

2. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese.
