CLAM DIP 2016'S UPGRADED 1960'S CLAM DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Be sure to save the juice drained off of the clams to use for thinning the dips consistency, but can also be used to punch up the flavor of the clams in the dip. I have listed the ingredients by brand named products. These are the brands I use, as well as the ones used in my Mother?s recipe. Believe me, it does make a major difference in the overall taste. If you want rave reviews, do not shortcut on the ingredients. Mix the cream cheese on med/high speed. Continue until the cream cheese is softened and is very creamy. Add clam juice, 1 or 2 T at a time if needed. Mix in Onion juice, Roasted Garlic, Worcestershire Sauce, Lemon Juice until all are well blended into the cream cheese. Add both cans of clams, and gently blend them in with whisk. Taste using your scoop/dipper of choice, since they have their own flavor profile, their flavor will affect the end product. At this point add/exchange ingredients to your personal flavor profile. Refrigerate till chilled (may freeze briefly, whip briskly for consistency), overnight is best to chill properly and give time for flavors to marry. This recipe is MY personal favorite, it is my friends preference. If you have never had this dip, this is will spoil you.

Steps:

Mince the rest of the garlic clove to add to the other ingredients.
• Leave cream cheese in bowl until it has reached room temperature. (Don't nuke it -- let it rest and thaw on it's own --) Then cream with a fork until smooth.
• Gradually add remaining ingredients (except minced clams), blending well. (Use a hand mixer to get the lumps out, if any.).
• Fold in minced clams last. Blend well --.
• Chill for 1 hour, sprinkle paprika on top and serve with rippled potato chips.
• YUM!

• Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.
