Cardi B Dip Recipe
I love nothing better than quick and easy party dip recipes that can be replenished in minutes at a busy party.
A great alternative to guacamole, oven-baked jalapeno popper dip, or cold-served cream cheese jalapeno dip, the creaminess of the avocado, sour cream, and spices blend well with the bold flavors of jalapeno peppers and make the perfect dippable combo.
Ingredients:
- softened cream cheese
- sour cream
- sliced jalapeno peppers
- chunks of avocado
- fresh cilantro
- seasonings: garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste
- fresh lime juice
- Tortilla chips for serving
How to make Cardi B Dip
Blend the Base: Add eight oz. of softened and cubed cream cheese in a food processor, eight oz. of sour cream, 14 oz. of sliced jalapeno peppers (along with the juice from the jar), two fresh avocados (peeled and pitted), a bunch of fresh cilantro leaves, 1 tbsp. of garlic powder, juice from 1 lime, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend everything on high for about 10 seconds.
Scrape and Smooth: After the initial blend, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Then, process the mixture for another 10 seconds to ensure a perfectly smooth dip. Adjust the blending time to achieve the consistency you prefer.
Serve and Enjoy: Once your avocado jalapeno dip reaches a creamy and smooth texture, it’s ready to serve.
This dip pairs wonderfully with homemade tortilla chips or a variety of fresh, sliced raw vegetables for dipping, tacos, tostadas, or right onto morning breakfast eggs.
Creamy Avocado Dip Variations for Every Taste
It is so easy to alter a dip for your taste.
- For Extra Heat: Crank up the heat by adding either Sriracha hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or finely chopped serrano peppers to the avocado jalapeno mix. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your heat preference.
- For a Milder Flavor: If you want to tone down the spiciness, reduce the amount of jalapenos and add some mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. This not only brings a milder taste but also adds a creamy texture.
- Combine the avocado jalapeno dip with a can of your favorite salsa for a Chunky Avocado Salsa. This blend creates an avocado salsa, perfect for dipping or topping your favorite dishes.
Customize the Dip Consistency:
- For a Thicker Dip: If you prefer your dips to be thicker, add an additional avocado to the recipe. This will enhance the creaminess and thickness of the dip.
- For a Thinner Dip: To achieve a lighter consistency, stir in a small amount of heavy whipping cream until you reach the desired thinness.
