01 -

Takes 15 minutes from start to finish, which is pure magic when unexpected guests show up
The combination of cream cheese and sour cream creates the most velvety, luscious texture you have ever tasted

02 -

This dip tastes infinitely better when it has sat at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving
The flavors actually develop and improve if you make it a few hours ahead, so do not feel pressured to serve immediately

03 -

Use a box grater rather than a food processor for the cheese because the finer shreds incorporate more smoothly
Chill your serving bowl for 10 minutes before filling it to keep the dip fresh longer during parties
