Vegan Jalapeño Popper Dip

Anyone else a sucker for spicy food?! I know I am! I’ve also always been a fan of Jalapeño Poppers, but unfortunately my stomach has never been a fan of them, LOL! This Vegan Jalapeño Popper Dip is the perfect dish to bring to any party, and it will be a hit with everyone!

Jalapeño Popper Dip Specifics

As I mentioned, this Jalapeño Popper Dip is not only delicious, but it’s also super simple! You can whip it up super quickly and rest assured that everyone will love. Here’s what you need:

• Vegan Cream Cheese: I recommend using a chive or scallion cream cheese because it adds more flavor to the dish, but plain works as well. My choice is Kite Hill Vegan Chive Cream Cheese, as it has the best texture IMO.
• Vegan Sour Cream & Mozzarella: The sour cream helps to add to the texture of the dip, too. I love Kite Hill for this as well, which you can find at your local Whole Foods. For the Mozzarella, I swear by Miyoko’s Brand, which you can find at Whole Foods too.
• Give me the Flavor!: Now of course we’re going to add in some jalapeño!! I recommend leaving in the seeds if you want it super spicy, but beware that it WILL bring the heat, LOL. In addition to this, I also use Nutritional Yeast, as well as garlic, extra virgin olive oil and white onion.
• Add a Little Crunch: Now this is a CRUCIAL part of the recipe in my opinion. You can use any cracker crumbs, but I recommend using the Almond Flour Crackers by Simple Mills. They’re clean, delicious and amazing!
