Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove blue cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften, which will ensure smoother blending.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the crumbled blue cheese, softened cream cheese, and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment to blend ingredients.
- Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure even incorporation.
- Add fresh lemon juice and continue mixing for an additional 30-45 seconds to integrate the tangy citrus flavor.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning to personal preference.
- Transfer the whipped blue cheese mixture to a serving bowl or storage container. For best texture and flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or condiment. Best enjoyed with crackers, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for salads and grilled meats.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Allow all dairy ingredients to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This ensures a smoother, more homogeneous blend and prevents lumpy texture.
- Mixing Matters: Use an electric mixer on medium speed and scrape down the bowl's sides to guarantee an even, creamy consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste your mixture before serving and adjust salt and pepper to your personal preference.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Refrigerate the whip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop a richer taste profile.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with crisp crackers, fresh vegetable crudités, or use as a gourmet topping for salads and grilled meats for maximum versatility.
