Tips:

  • Use room temperature cream cheese: This will ensure a smooth and creamy dip.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make your dip grainy.
  • Don't overcook the dip: Overcooking will make the dip thick and rubbery.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: Crackers, chips, vegetables, and bread cubes are all great options.
  • Make the dip ahead of time: This dip can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
