Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh jalapenos, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- 8 oz cream cheese (plant-based), softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream (plant-based)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar (plant-based)
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tsp onion powder (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapenos: Start by finely dicing fresh jalapenos, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. This ensures an even spice distribution throughout the dip and brings vibrant, fresh flavor.
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese (plant-based) and sour cream (plant-based) until smooth. This creamy foundation carries the other flavors perfectly.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in shredded cheddar (plant-based), garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and lime juice (natural). Mix well to blend all flavors harmoniously.
- Integrate Jalapenos and Natural Gelling Agent: Fold the diced jalapenos into the mixture. Then carefully add the natural gelling agent to achieve the ideal creamy consistency that helps hold the dip together.
- Season and Chill: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
Notes
- Use fresh jalapenos for the best crisp, bright heat.
- Adjust heat level by varying the amount of jalapenos or removing seeds.
- Chill the dip to help flavors marry well before serving.
- Beat cream cheese (plant-based) at room temperature for a smooth blend without lumps.
- The dip can be served cold or at room temperature for full flavor.
