Notes
Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Cream Cheese: Feel free to substitute reduced fat for a lighter version, but keep in mind that your dip might be a little thinner.
- Roasted Red Peppers: Jarred red peppers are perfectly charred and provide incredible flavor. You could definitely roast your own red peppers if you don’t have jarred on hand.
- Avoid overblending. The longer you blend the dip, the waterier it gets, meaning that it becomes harder to dip things in!
- If you do happen to overblend your dip, do not fear. Simply put the dip into the refrigerator and allow it to sit for a half hour before serving. This will give the fats in the cream cheese time to solidify, giving your dip that perfect texture once more. This added step also gives the flavors a chance to really blend together so it’s a good idea either way!
- If you like your dip a bit spicier, add more red pepper flakes!
- I’ve made this dip with whipped cream cheese in the past but it turned out too runny for my preference.
