Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Optional: Chopped fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
Set the cream cheese out for about 15–20 minutes beforehand to soften. If you're in a rush, microwave it for 10 seconds, but don't let it melt.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., more salt or pepper).
If desired, fold in chopped parsley or chives for added freshness and color.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and pair it with chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in a sealed container. Stir well before serving if refrigerated.
