Description

This Hot Honey Chili Crunch Dip combines creamy textures with a spicy-sweet kick, perfect for parties or casual snacking. Made with cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and vibrant fresh herbs, it delivers a balanced flavor profile with a delightful crunch. Refrigerated to allow flavors to meld, it pairs wonderfully with crackers, chips, or fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Dip Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chili crunch

Add-Ins

  • ¾ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Blend Cream Cheese: Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to blend it until smooth and creamy. This ensures a silky base for the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, hot honey, and chili crunch into the cream cheese and mix until everything is evenly combined, creating a spicy-sweet flavorful base.
  3. Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the grated sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and fresh lime juice until well incorporated. Season with kosher salt and pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
  4. Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled with your choice of crackers, chips, pretzels, carrots, or celery for dipping and enjoy the spicy, creamy crunch.

Notes

  • For best flavor, prepare the dip a few hours in advance to let the ingredients meld together.
  • Adjust the amount of chili crunch to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor; bottled lime juice may alter the taste.
  • If cream cheese is too firm, let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.
