What I Love About This Recipe

• Easy: Clam dip is effortlessly crafted with ease, requiring minimal preparation and simple ingredients. Its straightforward process makes it an accessible and quick-to-whip-up appetizer.
• Crowd Pleaser: It is an ideal party companion, especially during the holidays. Its savory allure and easy preparation make it a crowd-pleaser, providing a delicious and festive addition to any gathering.
• Adaptable: Tailor the dip to your taste preferences by adding in spices such as paprika or mustard powder. You can also add more heat by increasing the amount of hot sauce.

How to Make Clam Dip

1. Beat the cream cheese. Using a handheld mixer beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add the sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and fresh dill. Mix until fully combined.

3. Add the clams. Dain the minced clams, but keep the juice and set aside. Stir the minced clams into the dip until well-mixed.
4. Stir in the juice. Use the reserved clam juice to thin the dip slightly to your desired consistency. I usually use about half of the remaining juice. Chill the dip for 1 hour in the fridge before serving.

Make-Ahead and Storage Information:

• Make-Ahead: Clam dip can be made up to 2 days in advance of when you plan on serving it.
• Storage: Place the dip into an air-tight container and keep it stored in the fridge. The dip will last for 3 to 5 days if stored properly.
