Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes to make it easier to mix.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula until the texture is smooth and creamy.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all of the seasonings evenly.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If desired, finely chop fresh chives and sprinkle them on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, chips, or fresh veggies. Alternatively, refrigerate the dip for up to one day and stir before serving.
