Cream cheese is beaten with a touch of cream and seasonings until smooth and cloud-like, creating a dip that's lighter than the straight-from-the-block version. It comes together in under ten minutes and works equally well sweet or savory depending on the mix-ins, making it a flexible starter for parties or snack boards.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method

  1. Cut the softened cream cheese into cubes and place in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

  2. Add the heavy cream and sour cream, then whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl once, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add the chives, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then whip on medium speed until fully combined and airy, about 1 minute.

  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then transfer to a serving bowl.

  5. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving with crackers, chips, or vegetables.
