💭 Tips

As recipes go, this one is just about as easy as it gets. We do, however, have a couple of tips for you.

  • To get that creamy texture, it’s important that you fully soften your cream cheese. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a dip that has chunks of pure cream cheese.
  • For maximum freshness, serve this dip individually unless you’re at a big party. The longer it sits at room temperature the shorter its lifespan will be.
