Spicy Sriracha Cream Cheese Dip

I can't think of a better crowd pleaser than this spicy sriracha cream cheese dip, which might just be my favorite dip ever. It’s super easy to make (only 4 ingredients!), but insanely addicting—spicy, creamy, garlicky and perfect with potato chips. Serve it as a quick and easy appetizer for your next game day, party, potluck or barbecue.

Sriracha dip ingredients

This sriracha dip comes together in minutes using just garlic, cream cheese, sour cream and sriracha. You can add as much or as little sriracha as you like, depending on how spicy you like it (I love this Organic Sriracha, but any brand works). You can also swap out the sour cream for full-fat Greek yogurt.

The recipe comes from my book, The Food Processor Family Cookbook and is a must-have in my house for football games and parties!

How to make sriracha cream cheese dip:

1. In a food processor, chop two garlic cloves.
2. Add softened cream cheese, sour cream, sriracha and salt.
3. Process until smooth. Taste and add additional sriracha if you want it spicier! If you prefer a thinner texture, add a splash or two of milk.

Tips for making this spicy cream cheese dip:

• The dip gets made right in a food processor, but you could also mix it by hand if you finely grate the garlic.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it mixes in smoothly without lumps.
• You can add as much or as little sriracha as you like, depending on how spicy you like it! You can use any brand of sriracha you like (I love this Organic Sriracha).
• I often garnish the dip with chives, but it's totally optional.
• Try the sriracha dip as a spread on sandwiches or burgers!

Spicy Sriracha Cream Cheese Dip

By Nicki Sizemore

Adapted from The Food Processor Family Cookbook, by Nicki Sizemore (Sonoma Press © 2016).

This creamy, spicy dip is the ULTIMATE game day or potluck appetizer! It only takes minutes to make and is always a huge crowd pleaser. The dip gets a kick of heat from sriracha and has a spicy, garlicky flavor that pairs perfectly with crunchy potato chips (just beware, it's totally addicting!). For a looser texture, feel free to blend in a couple tablespoons of milk. The recipe can be halved if you’re not serving a crowd.

Servings: 2 ¼ cups

Prep Time: 5 minutes mins

Total Time: 5 minutes mins

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
• ½ cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
• 2-3 tablespoons sriracha, or more to taste
• Salt
• Chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
• Potato chips (preferably a sturdy chip), for serving

Instructions

• In a food processor with the motor running, drop the garlic through the feed tube to chop.
• Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of sriracha, and season with salt. Process until smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides occasionally. Taste and pulse in an additional tablespoon of sriracha (or more!), if you prefer it spicier.
• Transfer the dip to a bowl, and sprinkle with chopped chives, if you wish. Serve with potato chips for dipping.

Notes

Do ahead: The dip can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

• The dip gets made right in a food processor, but you could also mix it by hand if you finely grate the garlic.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it mixes in smoothly without lumps.
• You can add as much or as little sriracha as you like, depending on how spicy you like it! You can use any brand of sriracha you like (I love this Organic Sriracha).
• I often garnish the dip with chives, but it's totally optional.
• Try the sriracha dip as a spread on sandwiches or burgers!
