Notes

For the smoothest dip, use cream cheese that’s fully softened before mixing. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. Freezing is not recommended since dairy-based texture can change. For a lighter option, use light cream cheese and reduced-fat mozzarella while keeping the bake time the same.
