What’s good dipped in cream cheese?
Well, it depends on if the dip is sweet or savory. If savory, crackers, bread, chips, and vegetables work well. If sweet, use graham crackers or fruit. My preference for this hot cream cheese dip is Ritz crackers.
How long is cream cheese dip good for?
This hot cream cheese dip is good for 3-4 days if you keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Don’t leave this dip out at room temp for more than 2 hours. I would not freeze this type of dip.
How do you soften cream cheese for dipping?
You can soften your cream cheese by microwaving it on a safe plate for about 15 seconds, depending on how much you have. Add 10-12 seconds for 2 or more packages. Also go less time more often, than more time and less often (could end up burnt).
