Vegetarian Buffalo Dip with Jackfruit
Description
The Get the Recipe Vegetarian Buffalo Dip combines young green jackfruit with cream cheese, sour cream, and a blend of mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheeses to create a creamy and rich base. Minced garlic, onion powder, parsley, and hot sauce add a punch of savory and spicy flavor. The shredded jackfruit imparts a fibrous texture reminiscent of pulled meat. After baking at 375°F until bubbly with a melty cheese topping, the dip is garnished with blue cheese crumbles, green onions, and extra hot sauce for additional sharpness and freshness.
The warm, creamy texture with spicy and tangy accents makes it ideal for dipping with tortilla chips, pretzels, celery sticks, or carrot slices. This dip serves as a vegetarian alternative to traditional buffalo chicken dip and offers a satisfying flavor and mouthfeel.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheating in the microwave is suitable, or the dip can be enjoyed chilled as well. This allows for convenient preparation ahead of events or multiple servings across days.
Ingredients
- 15 ounce young green jackfruit canned in brine NOT syrup
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- 2 green onion white and light green parts finely chopped
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup hot sauce Frank’s Red Hot Sauce brand
- 1/8 /8 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- Dash soy sauce approximately 1/4 teaspoon
Garnishes
- blue cheese crumbles
- green onion sliced
- hot sauce Frank's Red Hot brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Drain jackfruit pieces. Take each piece and "shred" the top part in your hands, separating it from the "base". If you cannot break apart the base in your hands, chop it with a knife.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the remaining dip ingredients. Once combined, stir in the shredded jackfruit. Spread the mixture evenly in a small baker and top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are bubbly. If you want the cheese on top to create a melty layer, you may need to broil it for a minute or two. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Garnish with blue cheese crumbles, green onion slices, and a drizzle of additional hot sauce. Serve with tortilla chips, pretzels, celery, or carrots and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat leftovers gently in the microwave or enjoy the dip cold if preferred.
- Serve with a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, pretzels, celery, or carrot sticks.
