  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ teaspoon orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon orange juice (fresh squeezed)

  1. Let the cream cheese and goat cheese come to room temperature.
  2. Add the cream cheese and goat cheese to a bowl and cream with a hand mixer.
  3. Chop up the dried cranberries into smaller pieces.
