Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Measure out the hot sauce and seasonings to have them ready.
  2. Mix the Dip: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use a spatula or electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to a storage container. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip firm up slightly.
  4. Serve: After chilling, give the dip a quick stir, then transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve with chips, crackers, vegetable sticks, or your favorite dippers for a spicy, flavorful snack.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your desired spice level.
  • For a smoother texture, use an electric mixer instead of mixing by hand.
  • Adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice can brighten the flavor if desired.
  • This dip can be made up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Try adding chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for extra freshness.
