Equipment

  • Handheld Mixer

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • dash Hot Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Dill chopped
  • 1 6.5 ounce can Minced Clams juices reserved
  • Chips or Crackers for serving

Instructions

  • Beat the cream cheese. Using a handheld mixer beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and fresh dill. Mix until fully combined.
  • Add the clams. Dain the minced clams, but keep the juice and set aside. Stir the minced clams into the dip until well-mixed.
  • 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.
