Ingredients
1/2 Cup Raw Honey
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, warm the honey and red pepper flakes over low heat for about 5 minutes, ensuring the mixture does not reach a boil
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika; blend with a hand mixer until completely smooth and fluffy
- Gently fold half of the warm infused honey and the apple cider vinegar into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula
- Give the mixture one final quick whip with the mixer to incorporate air and make the dip light
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and drizzle the remaining hot honey over the top as a garnish before serving
Notes
Always use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky-smooth texture without lumps.
For the best flavor, let the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the heat and sweetness to meld.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days; freezing is not recommended as it may change the dairy texture.
If the dip is too thick after refrigeration, thin it out with a teaspoon of milk or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
