If you don’t have time, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften before mixing. It’s best to make this dip with room temperature cream cheese. My family’s recipe is more purist-leaving out our addition of green onions-so as usual, we’ve made the recipe our own. Obviously I got smarter as a I got older.
I loved it even as a kid when I picked out the clams and ate only the cream cheese. This is a classic dip my dad has made forever-and is still the #1 request whenever we’re toghter. How do I know? Because it’s been a family fave FOREVER and it’s about to become your stand-by recipe to take to, just like it’s mine. It’s the number one appetizer recipe I take to any family or friend get-together/party/excuse-to-eat-chips-and-dip above all others. Even people who think they don’t like clams LOVE THIS DIP. I also know we all like clams because this amazingly simple clam dip recipe has been a standard in my family literally for years. But I mean, why wouldn’t it be? IT’S DIVINE! I know it, because my steamed clam recipe is one of the most popular recipes on the blog. It’s like we don’t want to admit we like clams. But guess what.
This irresistible and super easy clam dip with cream cheese is a beloved family recipe and the perfect party appetizer, guaranteed to knock your socks off!
