Jalapeno Cream Cheese Dip Notes

CREAM CHEESE: I recommend using regular, block-style, full-fat cream cheese here because it will make the creamiest dip, but you can sub in low fat if you like.

SOUR CREAM: Again, full-fat will give the best flavor and texture for this dip, but if you want to, you can sub in greek yogurt!

JALAPENOS: Be sure to de-seed the fresh jalapeƱos or else this dip will get spicy – quick! However, if you like a spicy cream cheese dip, add the seeds in and take it one step further with added cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes!

ONION POWDER & GARLIC POWDER – They add the best flavor to this dip, don’t skip these additions!

GREEN ONION – You can substitute in chives as well.

CILANTRO – Leave this out if you’re not a cilantro lover, but I love the extra zest it gives this jalapeno dip!

SALT & PEPPER – More or less, to taste!

SPICE IT UP – Add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and the seeds from the jalapeno peppers in your dip if you want a spicier version!

CHEESY ADDITIONS – Want to add cheese to this dip? I’d recommend 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese or a little bit of sharp cheddar cheese.

What to Serve with JalapeƱo Cream Cheese Dip

Serve up your dip with a variety of tortilla chips, raw veggie slices or crackers! Here are a few of my favoritesā€¦

  • Tortilla Chips
  • Crackers (club crackers or Ritz crackers are delish with this dip!)
  • Pita Chips
  • Toast Points
  • Celery/Carrot/Pepper Slices
  • Cucumber Slices
  • Naan Dippers
  • Bagel Chips
  • Crostini
  • Pretzels
  • Corn Chips
