Quick Facts

• Yield: Serves 6-8
• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by melting butter over medium heat in a skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant—about 30 seconds to avoid bitterness.

Step 2:

Next, add the softened cream cheese and stir continuously to melt it smoothly. This is key for getting that creamy base without lumps.

Step 3:

Pour in the heavy cream slowly while stirring, creating a silky sauce. Then, mix in the sour cream—this adds a little tang and richness that balances out the dip beautifully.

Step 4:

Stir in both the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Continue to cook and stir gently for a couple of minutes until all your cheeses are melted and the dip is gorgeously smooth.

Step 5:

Season with salt, pepper, and the optional Italian seasoning for that extra depth of flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning as you like.

Step 6:

Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color, and serve warm with your favorite dippers!

Variations & Tips

• Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
• Mix in cooked, crumbled bacon or diced cooked chicken for a heartier dip.
• Use shredded provolone instead of mozzarella for a smokier flavor.
• Add a splash of white wine instead of part of the cream for a sophisticated twist.

How I Like to Serve It

This dip is a total crowd-pleaser at casual gatherings—perfect with warm garlic bread, crunchy celery sticks, or crispy tortilla chips. It also makes a rich side for a cozy movie night or game day snacking. When the weather turns chilly, I love serving it alongside roasted veggies for a comforting combo.

Notes

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid separating.
• If your dip is a bit thick after refrigeration, stir in a splash of milk or heavy cream when reheating to bring back that luscious texture.

Closing: Whenever I need an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe with big flavor and creamy comfort, this Alfredo dip never lets me down!
