Expert Tips
- Use room-temperature cream cheese. The cream cheese should be soft so that it mixes well. If it’s cold, you can soften it by placing it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
- Thin out the dip. If the dip seems too thick, add more sour cream.
- Remove the jalapeno seeds. If you just want the flavor of jalapeno and no heat, then feel free to remove the seeds before dicing it.
Alternative Ingredients
- Feta Cheese: Add feta to the dip for a tangy, salty flavor and cheesy texture.
- Water Chestnuts: Add some finely chopped water chestnuts if you’d like to add a crunchy texture that complements the creaminess of the dip.
- Lemon Zest: Add a pinch of lemon zest to enhance and brighten the flavor of the dip and balance out the creaminess.
