Ingredients
- 1 tub Philadelphia cream cheese (about 8 oz/ 250g) Feel free to substitute with another brand if necessary.
- 4 oz mayonnaise After emptying the cream cheese into the mixing bowl, squeeze the Kewpie mayo into the (empty) cream cheese container till it's about ⅓-½ full. (I do this to save on the washing up!) I like Kewpie Mayo but you can also use regular mayo
- 6 cloves fresh garlic Minced. Substitute: garlic powder If refrigerating the dip then eating it, use more garlic, as the coldness will dull the flavour.
- ½ teaspoon salt If adding canned tuna, add the tuna THEN salt as the tuna is already super salty.
- black pepper few turns of the mill
- spring onions, minced green chillies, chives, parsley etc Optional garnishing for colour
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients, except the garnishing, together in a mixing bowl,
- Sprinkle the garnishes on top.
- Serve immediately with crackers and what not. (See above for full list of serving ideas.) Note: If refrigerating first, either let it warm up slightly or add more garlic before serving as the cold dulls the flavours.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Substitutes: If you don't have Kewpie mayonnaise, you can DIY your own by adding chicken bouillon powder and a pinch of sugar to regular mayonnaise. Any leftovers can be made into sambal mayonnaise.
- To bulk up: add 5 hard boiled eggs, cut into small pieces, crab meat or surimi. I don't recommend tuna.
