Notes
FOR THE BEST RESULTS:
This recipe is ready in 2 minutes, but tastes BEST when all the dried spices have had a chance to open up a bit. I find that it tastes best on the second day or at least a couple hours after you have made it.
If your cream cheese dip comes out too thick, here are a couple ways to make it more creamy:
- Add in a tablespoon or two of heavy cream. Start by adding in 1-2 and mixing well. A little goes a long way.
- If you don't have heavy cream, add in 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream. Again, add in the sour cream, mix and add in more if it is still thick.
- If neither of the above suggestions help, let the dip come a little closer to room temperature. It may simply be too cold.
SUBSTITUTION AND ALTERNATE FLAVOR IDEAS:
If you're looking for some alternate herb choices, here's a quick list to make your own personalized Cream Cheese Dip:
- For people who love heat, add in ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- For more depth of flavor, add in ¼ teaspoon smoked Hungarian paprika.
- Want more brightness: add in a squeeze of lime.
HOW TO SERVE AND STORE:
- This cheese dip recipe is great to serve with sliced vegetables, but it doesn't need to be relegated to this kind of boredom. Spice it up a bit with pork rinds for a fantastic low carb snack. Want an even better idea? Add some chile powder to the pork rinds and then scoop up some dip.
- If you're not doing the low carb or keto way of eating, serve with some chickpea chips for a crunchy, gluten free option.
- For storage purposes, this needs to be refrigerated. As far as longevity is concerned, I've eaten this dip up to about a week after I've made it... if it lasts that long.

I don't know where you are getting your nutrition information, but 10 oz of cream cheese doesn't have 1860 calories. 8 oz is 720 calories, so the correct calorie count should be 900 calories for 10 oz, or 45 or so calories per serving for this (assuming 20 servings).
this is a good idea, except that its pretty stiff, and not as pliant as your usual dips.
Any suggestions about that?
It's only stiff when chilled. Add some sour cream to make it easier to dip.
Made this mostly as directed, omitted chives and black pepper, added 1/8 tsp ground red pepper, 1/4 tsp paprika, squeeze of lime, and drizzle of cream till desired consistency. This is awesome!
