🛒 What You’ll Need
🧀 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
🥣 ½ cup sour cream
🌰 ¾ cup walnuts, finely chopped
🍯 1 tablespoon honey
🧄 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
🌿 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives
🌰 Extra toasted walnuts for topping
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Toast the walnuts.
Place the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Let them cool.
2️⃣ Make it creamy.
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
3️⃣ Add the flavor.
Mix in the honey, garlic powder, salt, and chopped parsley or chives.
4️⃣ Fold in the walnuts.
Gently stir in most of the toasted walnuts, saving a little for the top. 🌰
5️⃣ Chill.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can come together.
6️⃣ Garnish and serve.
Spoon into a serving bowl, sprinkle with the remaining walnuts, and drizzle with a tiny bit of honey if you'd like.
Serve with your favorite crackers, sliced apples, celery, or toasted baguette. 😋

💡 A Little Tip
For the smoothest dip, let your cream cheese soften completely before mixing.
And don't skip toasting the walnuts—it only takes a few minutes, but it brings out so much more of their buttery, nutty flavor. ❤️
