- Optionally chill the cream cheese in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cream cheese: Philadelphia cream cheese has the best texture of any brand, by far! It’s super creamy which makes it easy to mix ingredients into by hand.
Softening the cream cheese: Let the cream cheese soften before making so it is easier to mix the ingredients in. Around 30 minutes on the counter or 30 to 60 seconds in the microwave will help it soften and make mixing far easier.
Minced garlic: Use the store-bought jarred minced garlic for this recipe to save yourself time and effort! It's plenty flavorful still and so much easier than using fresh garlic. Plus, the little bit of garlicky liquid that's in the jar helps infuse extra garlic flavor into this cream cheese.
