Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chips for serving
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess juice, ensuring the dip doesn't become watery.
- In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Next, incorporate 1/2 cup of sour cream into the cream cheese mixture. Blend well until fully combined and smooth.
- Add the drained crushed pineapple to the bowl, folding it gently into the cream cheese and sour cream mixture to maintain some texture.
- Chop 1/4 cup of green onions finely and add them to the mixture. Stir well to ensure even distribution throughout the dip.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Once everything is well mixed, taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or garlic powder as desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- While the dip is chilling, prepare your choice of chips for serving. Tortilla chips or potato chips work well with this dip.
- After chilling, serve the Pineapple Chip Dip alongside the chips for a delicious snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
Tips
- Drainage is Key: Make sure to thoroughly drain the crushed pineapple to prevent a watery dip. Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove excess moisture.
- Cream Cheese Temperature: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Flavor Customization: Feel free to experiment by adding a dash of cayenne pepper for heat or some fresh chopped cilantro for an extra flavor kick.
- Chilling Time: While the recipe suggests 10 minutes of chilling, letting the dip sit for 30 minutes to an hour can help the flavors meld even more intensely.
- Chip Pairing: While the recipe suggests tortilla or potato chips, try serving with sweet potato chips or even graham crackers for a unique twist!
