Questions people ask about Cheese Dip

How long does Cheese Dip take?

About 5 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of cream cheese in Cheese Dip?

Use hung curd, thickened overnight in a cloth. Tangier and less sweet, so adjust the sugar.

Can I make Cheese Dip ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Cheese Dip vegetarian?

Yes, it is vegetarian. It is not vegan as written because it contains dairy; swap the dairy for a plant alternative and the rest of the method is unchanged.

How long does home-made cheese dip keep?

Two or three days refrigerated. Anything with avocado in it is a same-day job, because it browns within the hour.
