Roasted Garlic is a game-changer, and using it in various recipes is a must in my opinion, and it works so well in this dip.

HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE DIP:

  1. Place the cream cheese in a large sized bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
  2. Add the sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper, whip until everything is combined and the garlic has broken up and fully incorporated. 
  3. Garnish with chives if using. Serve with chips, crackers, and veggies of your choice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

100% yes it does.

When it roasts the sugars inside of the garlic itself caramelize which in turn makes the garlic a little bit sweeter, but with a richness. 

Usually, just regular garlic if you were to eat it you would have this tangy bite to it, but roasting the garlic takes that away and creates a smoother flavor that goes well in many dishes.

You can serve anything that you’d like to serve!

We like to serve this dip recipe with chips, crackers, baguettes, pretzels, vegetables, and more.

This goes great with any savory or salty dippers.

It really depends on what your favorite thing to serve with dips is, but when we serve this we include a variety of options.

Like I said we are big fans of dips, some of my other favorite dip recipes include:

  1. Baked Queso Dip
  2. Crock Pot Jalapeno Popper Corn Dip
  3. Hot Pimento Cheese Dip
  4. French Onion Cream Cheese Dip
  5. Spinach Artichoke Dip

Oh, you better believe it! Bring on the flavor!

  • Sprinkle green onions on top for a fresh, zesty kick.
  • Add bacon bits for a smoky, crunchy twist to this delicious dip.
  • Mix in parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy flavor.
  • Toss in some hot sauce for a spicy surprise—great for that spicy foods fan!
  • Garnish with chopped bell pepper for color and crunch.
  • Top with fresh-cut veggies like carrots for a pop of freshness.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops for a hearty dipper—makes it a big hit!

You know I always have options here.

Let me know how it turns out!

  • Use light cream cheese instead of regular block of cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • Swap sour cream with heavy cream for a richer, creamier, delicious dip.
  • Replace roasted garlic with garlic powder if you’re in a pinch (but roasted is best for that great flavor!).
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangy, healthier twist.
  • Substitute kosher salt with sea salt—keeps that simple ingredients vibe.
  • Swap fresh chives with dried chives or green onions for a quick flavor fix.

This delicious dip can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where it will last for 3-4 days.

DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:

  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened before making, this helps everything blend easily.
  • You can smash your garlic before adding it to the dip.
  • Double this recipe to serve more people.
  • Make this with room temperature cream cheese. It just makes life easier.
  • You can serve this with various different dipping vessels.
