Cream cheese as a dip

8 replies

SpaceOP · 28/06/2024 16:52

I want to "thin" cream cheese a little so that I can sort of use it as a dip to go with parma ham wrapped asparagus that I have roasted. I know cream cheese works well but I am not sure what to use? Any ideas?

I do also like the flavour roasted tomato and garlic alongside so maybe I should blend roasted tomatoes and garlic with it?

I'd let it down with either a bit of cream (if you have any), or failing that, just some milk. You don't want it to be too thin though.

I would thin it with a squirt of lemon, and add some salt and pepper too.

Full-fat greek yoghurt.

Get it to room temperature and either use yoghurt or single cream.

I'd definitely try that.

I'd make a Caesar type dip. Half cream cheese, half mayo, lemon juice, grated parmesan and a couple of chopped anchovies. You can also use yoghurt instead of cream cheese.

I think I'm going with the yoghurt option, at room temp.

I realised I'm not up for roasting tomatoes in this instance as I've got tomatoes in my lamb skewers but I might experiment with a whole bulb of garlic being roasted and add a couple of raosted cloves when I'm mixing it up. Thanks all!
