Here’s a full recipe for the Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip shown in the image 🍃
🌶️ Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip
Ingredients:
- 3–4 roasted jalapeños (seeded for mild, leave seeds for spicy)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Roast the Jalapeños:
- Place jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast under the broiler (or on a grill) until skins are blistered and charred.
- Peel off the skin, remove stems and seeds (if desired), then chop roughly.
- Blend or Mix:
- In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine roasted jalapeños, cream cheese, white cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Blend or beat until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Taste:
- Taste and adjust seasoning or spice level. Add more cheddar for richness or another roasted jalapeño for extra heat.
- Serve:
- Serve warm or chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Optional Add-ins:
- A squeeze of lime juice for tang
- 2 tbsp sour cream or mayo for a lighter, fluffier texture
- Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish
Would you like me to give you a baked hot version of this dip too (like one served warm and bubbly from the oven)?
