With Thanksgiving coming up soon, I’ve already been thinking of our Thanksgiving menu. Which also means everything needs to be dairy free, gluten free, and low sugar and low carbs.
Our go to has always been chips and dip, with some BBQ meatballs and Chris mothers, cheese ball recipe with crackers and summer sasuage.
Knowing that everyone would want chips and dip, I needed to find something we could all enjoy. So I tried this dairy free dipntecipe today and it was good.
Obviously not the same as the lays brand we buy, but their were no complaints so that’s a good sign to me.
The recipe was smooth and creamy, a good balance of dairy free sour cream and onions, with a little chives sprinkled on top.
Dairy Free French Onion Dip
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 container (7 to 8 ounces) dairy free cream cheese (Violife is 7 oz, Daiya is 8 oz)
- ⅓ cup egg free soy free mayo (or dairy free sour cream if you have access to it)*
- 2 tablespoons finely grated dairy free parmesan cheese (I used the one from aldi)
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onions
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked salt (or regular salt)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos, optional (if you want to add a little brown/caramel color to the dip)
- Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, use an hand mixer to cream the dairy free cream cheese until soft.
Mix in half the mayo (or sour cream) until smooth, then mix in the other half of the mayo (or sour cream). Mixing this in parts helps to keep things smooth!
Mix in the finely grated dairy free parmesan, the dried onions, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the coconut aminos (if using) and mix again until blended and smooth.
Chill in the fridge until this sets up, for at least 1-2 hours.
Serve with your favorite chips, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
