Ingredients

16 oz Brie cheese wheel (rind removed), rind removed, cubed
1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce (canned or homemade)
4 oz cream cheese, softened, cubed
1 tsp orange zest
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely minced
2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 oz crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)

Instructions

1

Spray the slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray. Add the 16 oz rind removed, cubed Brie cheese wheel (rind removed) and 4 oz softened, cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker.
2

Spoon the 1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce (canned or homemade) over the top of the cheese. Sprinkle with 1 tsp orange zest, 1 tsp finely minced fresh rosemary, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Drizzle the 2 tsp honey over everything.
3

Cover and cook on LOW for 1.5 hours (or HIGH for 45-60 minutes), until the cheese is completely melted. Gently stir to partially swirl the cranberry sauce into the cheese, leaving some visible pockets of cranberry.

Serve immediately directly from the slow cooker with 8 oz crackers or sliced baguette (for serving) for dipping. Keep the slow cooker on WARM to maintain dip consistency.

Questions

Can I make Slow Cooker Cranberry Brie Dip dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (16 oz Brie cheese wheel (rind removed), rind removed, cubed, 4 oz cream cheese, softened, cubed) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

Can I make Slow Cooker Cranberry Brie Dip gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 8 oz crackers or sliced baguette (for serving). Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Slow Cooker Cranberry Brie Dip keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop. It also freezes well for up to three months.

Can I halve or double Slow Cooker Cranberry Brie Dip?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Keep the slow cooker between half and two-thirds full; the cook time stays roughly the same.
