Notes
Recipe Tips:
- Smooth & Creamy Base: Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before beating it with sour cream.
- Even Layering: Spread each layer evenly using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to create a balanced bite in every scoop.
- Finely Grated Cheese: Use the small holes of the grater to finely shred the cheese. This helps it distribute evenly and meld with the other layers.
- Chill for Best Flavor: Let the dip sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance flavors.
- Garnish for Visual Appeal: Sprinkle extra green onions, diced tomatoes, or black olives for added color and texture.
- Best Chips for Dipping: Use sturdy tortilla chips or scoop-style chips to hold the layers without breaking.
- Prevent Sogginess: If serving later, wait to add green onions and cheese until just before serving
