Notes
Storage :
- Store: Keep leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Not recommended because the whipped topping may break and become grainy after thawing.
- Soften: Let chilled dip rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
- Make ahead: This dip can be made 24 hours in advance. The flavor improves as it chills; stir before serving to refresh the texture.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
- Fold the whipped topping gently to keep the dip fluffy.
- Add a splash of milk if the dip becomes too thick.
- Add a little powdered sugar or refrigerate the dip if it is too thin.
- Use a mix of sweet and salty dippers for the best flavor contrast.
