Expert Tips
- Soften the cream cheese: Let the block of cream cheese sit on the counter to get to room temperature before mixing, so you don’t have small lumps in your cream cheese.
- Use a hand mixer: If you use the whisk attachment and mix it well, you whip in air and make it light and fluffy, while removing lumps.
- Make ahead: If you need this dip for a party, make it up to a few days beforehand. Then store in the fridge and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
- Pair with color: Serve with red and green grapes, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, and melon for a colorful dessert table.
