Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 3–4 jalapenos
- 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop into small pieces for even distribution in the dip.
- Roast and Dice Jalapenos: Roast the jalapenos under the broiler or in a hot pan until blistered and fragrant. Let cool, remove seeds if less heat is preferred, then finely dice.
- Blend the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based cream cheese, plant-based cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Bacon and Jalapenos: Gently fold the chopped smoked turkey bacon and diced jalapenos into the creamy base, mixing well to combine flavors evenly.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to meld flavors and thicken the dip to perfect consistency.
Notes
- Cook bacon until crisp to add great texture and avoid chewiness.
- Adjust jalapeno quantity gradually to control the heat level.
- Use fresh jalapenos and herbs for the best flavor impact.
- Whisk the creamy base thoroughly for a smooth, luxurious texture.
- Chill the dip adequately to enhance flavor development and achieve ideal consistency.
