Description

This Hot Honey Cream Cheese Dip is a deliciously warm and spicy-sweet appetizer perfect for parties or holidays. Made with creamy softened cream cheese topped with a flavorful blend of hot honey, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt, then baked until bubbly and garnished with fresh chives or green onions.

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)

For Serving

  • Crackers, crostini, or sliced veggies

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Arrange Cream Cheese: Place the softened cream cheese into a small oven-safe baking dish or skillet ensuring an even layer for baking.
  3. Prepare Honey Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the hot honey, optional red pepper flakes for heat, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Top Cream Cheese: Pour the prepared honey mixture evenly over the cream cheese, spreading it so it covers the surface.
  5. Bake the Dip: Put the baking dish into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cream cheese is heated through and slightly bubbly around the edges.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Remove from the oven, drizzle with additional hot honey for enhanced flavor, and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
  7. Serve: Serve the warm dip immediately with your choice of crackers, crostini, or sliced vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • To make homemade hot honey, gently warm 1/4 cup honey with 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes and allow it to infuse for 5 minutes.
  • This dip is best enjoyed warm for the perfect gooey texture and flavor.
  • Works great as a festive party appetizer or holiday snack.
  • Can be made gluten-free by serving with gluten-free crackers or veggies.
