Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 whole peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, milk, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan and place it over medium-low heat.
Stir the sauce continuously as it warms to prevent it from sticking or scorching. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime juice for a bright and tangy finish.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if desired.
Serve warm as a topping, dip, or drizzle. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
