FAQ
What could I pair with cream cheese dips? For the savory dips, you can pair crackers, tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, potato chips, bagel chips, and hundreds of other snacks. Raw veggies would also be good. For the dessert dips, you could serve cookies, pretzels, or fruit.
How long do cream cheese dips keep? Refrigerated in an airtight container, these dips will usually last 3-4 days for a quick delicious snack. You can technically freeze cream cheese dips, but I don’t like the texture after freezing as it’s not as creamy. Check each recipe for specific details.
Top Tips
Make sure to use a block of cream cheese and not cream cheese spread when making cream cheese dip recipes.
It’s always a good idea to mark the date on dishes you’ve store for later.
When taking one of these cream cheese dips to a friend’s house, let her know ahead of time that you’ll need to warm up the dish. Bring it in your oven-safe baking dish and just pop it in the oven. Remember to set the timer!
If your dish has a garnish, pack it in a separate baggie and add it after it comes out of the oven for the best presentation. When serving these dips, make sure to include a small spreader knife.
I like serving a few different dips and this multi-tiered dish works great as it won’t take a lot of room on a table and looks so nice.
