This Bourbon Peach Pecan Dip combines the smokiness of bacon, the sweetness of fresh peaches and brown sugar, and the warmth of bourbon and chipotle chili powder for a rich, flavorful appetizer. Cream cheese provides a creamy base, while the crunch from pecans and the tang from cola-infused sauce make this dip perfect for serving warm with crackers or sliced French bread.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve some for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened

Produce

  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (approximately 1/2 cup)
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, coarsely chopped (about 3 peaches)

Liquids and Condiments

  • 1 ounce bourbon
  • 1 cup cola-flavored carbonated beverage

Spices and Sweeteners

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper powder
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

Nuts

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (reserve some for topping)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook for about 8 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  2. Add Flavorings: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in bourbon, garlic powder, cola, cornstarch, chipotle chili pepper powder, and packed brown sugar, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
  3. Simmer Sauce: Return skillet to heat and bring the mixture just to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces.
  4. Add Peaches and Nuts: Stir in the chopped peaches, most of the crumbled bacon, and most of the chopped pecans, reserving some of each for topping. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  5. Prepare Dish: Spread softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie plate.
  6. Assemble Dip: Spoon the warm peach mixture on top of the cream cheese layer in the pie plate.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the reserved crumbled bacon and chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor. Serve the dip warm with assorted crackers or sliced French bread.

Notes

  • This dip is best served warm to enjoy the full flavor and creamy texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to spread easily.
  • Substitute bourbon with whiskey or brandy if preferred.
  • You can prepare the mixture in advance and reheat before serving.
  • For a spicier kick, adjust chipotle chili pepper powder to taste.
  • Pairs well with a variety of crackers, crostini, or fresh baguette slices.
