Ingredients
- 8 oz Stilton cheese crumbled (or strong blue cheese)
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts for topping
- Fresh apple slices or crackers for serving
Instructions
Soften the Cream Cheese
- Place cream cheese in a bowl. Let it sit at room temp for 15 mins. Or microwave 10 seconds. Beat until smooth and fluffy. This base makes dip creamy. No lumps here.
Crumble the Stilton Cheese
- Break Stilton into small chunks by hand. Some veins are good. They add flavor bursts. Mix into cream cheese gently. Mash together with a fork. Blend until mostly smooth.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Stir in sour cream and mayonnaise. Mix well until silky. Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Beat 1 minute. Taste. Adjust pepper. Bold tang builds now.
Fold in Fresh Herbs
- Chop chives fine. Stir them in last. Keeps green color bright. Mix lightly. Don't overdo. Dip stays chunky and fresh. Spoon into serving bowl.
Chill and Top
- Cover with plastic. Chill 30 mins. Flavors marry. Before serving, sprinkle walnuts. Press lightly. Garnish with extra chives. Ready to scoop!
Notes
- Room temp ingredients blend best. No gritty bits.
- Strong Stilton shines. Use Danish blue if milder.
- Make ahead: Flavors deepen overnight.
- Spicy kick: Add dash of hot sauce.
- Vegan: Swap for cashew cheese and vegan mayo.
- Fruit twist: Mix in dried cranberries.
- Nut-free: Top with pomegranate seeds.
- Thicker dip: Reduce sour cream slightly.
