Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based sour cream
  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Cheese and Seasonings

  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Spice and Flavor

  • 3–4 fresh jalapenos, finely chopped (adjust to heat preference, seeds removed for milder dip)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jalapenos: Wash and finely chop the fresh jalapenos. Adjust the amount and remove seeds if you prefer a milder heat.
  2. Combine the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based sour cream, plant-based mayonnaise, and fresh lime juice until smooth to create a balanced base for the dip.
  3. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Fold in the shredded plant-based cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of the natural gelling agent. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors and thicken the dip slightly.
  4. Mix in Flavors: Stir in the chopped jalapenos and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated for a layered taste.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to set to a creamy, thick consistency.

Notes

  • Use fresh jalapenos for the best vibrant heat and flavor.
  • Adjust jalapeno quantity gradually to balance desired spice level.
  • Choose a high-quality melting plant-based cheese for authentic texture and taste.
  • Use natural gelling agent sparingly to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Refrigerate the dip before serving to enhance flavor blending and thickness.
