Cream Cheese Dip
with Garlic and Parmesan Cheese
Enjoy this delicious garlic parmesan chip dip, when you are having a party, watching a movie with your family or just because.
It is quick and easy to make and doesn’t require any special skills, so anyone can make it.
Sometimes store bought is fine, but in this case homemade is so good and so easy.
The dip is perfect for chips, but also makes a nice addition to a baked potato bar.
The cream cheese is easier to work with, when it is at room temperature.
Let it set out for a little while just before you are ready to mix up the dip.
You can use either a hand mixer or a stand mixer to get your dip creamy.
The recipe calls for two different types of parmesan cheese for double the cheesy goodness.
Grated parmesan is mixed into the dip, while shredded parmesan is added on top of the dip.
A little garnish is pretty and adds flavor, so you can sprinkle chopped cilantro, parsley or chives on it depending upon your preference.
If your family doesn’t like the green stuff, it’s still good without it.
You can serve the dip immediately or chill it in the refrigerator first.
I like my dip cold and I’m also a fan of making things ahead of time, so that I’m not rushed at the last minute.
Enjoy!
