Description
A creamy, smoky, herb-packed whipped dip made with Philadelphia cream cheese, roasted garlic, and fresh thyme. Ideal for parties, boards, or stuffing jalapeños. Light in texture, rich in flavor—this one disappears fast.
Ingredients
1 cup whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 bulb roasted garlic
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt to taste (optional)
Instructions
1. Let cream cheese and sour cream sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat whipped cream cheese on medium speed for 2 minutes until fluffy.
3. Mash roasted garlic cloves and add to the cream cheese along with sour cream. Mix until smooth.
4. Add smoked paprika, black pepper, and thyme. Fold on low speed to preserve fluffiness.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or additional sour cream if needed.
6. Chill for 15 minutes for best consistency, or serve immediately if soft peaks form.
7. Serve with crackers, crostini, or stuffed in jalapeños.
Notes
Let all ingredients come to room temperature before whipping.
Use a paddle attachment for best texture—avoid food processors.
Roast garlic fresh for best flavor; store-bought paste is a backup option.
