Whipped Mozzarella & Cheddar Dip
Calling all dip lovers! This luscious mozzarella & cheddar dip is for you! Fresh mozzarella gives the dip body, sharp white cheddar provides rich umami flavor, and cream cheese makes the dip extra smooth. Impress your party guests with this effortless and elegant dip!
Ingredients
Whipped Mozzarella & Cheddar
- 1 8-ounce ball of Real California Milk fresh mozzarella
- 4 ounces Real California Milk cream cheese, at room temperature
- 5 ounces (1 1/3 cups) shredded Real California Milk sharp white cheddar
Toppings
- 3 to 4 tablespoons finely diced fruit, such as persimmons and apples
- 2 to 3 teaspoons homemade chili oil, or chili crisp (see note below)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey
- thinly sliced scallions
- toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Use your hands to tear the ball of mozzarella into large pieces. Place them in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cream cheese and shredded white cheddar. Blend the cheeses with the food processor, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Keep blending until you get a very smooth mixture (this can take a few minutes).
- Transfer the whipped cheese to a serving bowl. Use a spoon or small spatula to spread the cheese dip and make small waves on the surface.
- Drizzle the chili oil over the dip, followed by the honey. Sprinkle the finely diced fruit on top, along with the sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve the cheese crackers, some crusty bread, or vegetables! The dip is best eaten the day it is made.
Notes
If you don’t like spicy foods, feel free to substitute the chili oil with a good drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
