Garlic Herb Cream Cheese Dip

Garlic Herb Cream Cheese Dip

Unbelievably creamy and packed with flavor, this Garlic Herb Cream Cheese Dip has become my go-to for gatherings. It’s the kind of recipe that feels fancy but is surprisingly simple to whip up, and I love how it always seems to disappear first from the snack table.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer on low speed to blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the melted butter and minced garlic to the bowl. Continue mixing on low speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  3. Fold in the chopped chives, dill, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper with a rubber spatula. Mix until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Before serving, let the dip sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier dipping.

The texture of this dip is luxuriously smooth with a slight tang from the sour cream and lemon juice, balanced by the richness of the cream cheese. Serve it with a variety of dippers like crisp vegetables, crackers, or even as a spread on toasted baguette slices for an elegant touch.
