For an extra touch of sophistication, consider using lump crab meat for a more luxurious texture. Adjust the amount of cocktail sauce to your preference. Some may prefer a lighter coating, while others enjoy a more generous layer. To prevent the cream cheese from becoming too soft, avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods before preparation. Make ahead tip: This spread can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Just be sure to cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the cocktail sauce for a spicy kick.
