Cream Cheese, Sweet Chilli and Coriander Dip

Jump to Recipe

A layer of creamy, smooth and fluffy cream cheese, topped with a thick sweet and spicy chilli sauce and finished with a layer of light as a feather finely chopped, fresh coriander. So delicious. So addictive. So easy. So quick.

I first had this dip at my lovely friend Tracey’s house around 20 years ago! It really is so very good, so incredibly simple to throw together and is a dip I come back to again and again for pre-dinner nibbles, afternoon nibbles, in fact any nibbles! I generally have these ingredients at home so it is also a great dish to whip up if you have surprise guests. You can serve it with tortilla chips, breadsticks, crackers, carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, red pepper. Totally up to you.

I made it today to nibble on whilst we watch Wales V France – the Six Nations Championship 2020 is finally being finished after a 7 month hiatus due to COVID 19. I love the layers of colour which match the Welsh flag!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You do not need any fancy pants equipment or ingredients. All you do is:

I like to serve it in a glass bowl so you can see those fabulous colourful layers!

The quantities I have given below are how I like to eat it; try it and decide for yourself. Emma uses less coriander than me but I’m mad about the stuff so like a lot! As ever, the only right way to make it, is the way you like the best.
