Scale:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh or canned cranberries, chopped
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
Fold in the chopped cranberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
